I'm trying to install Dovecot onto my QNAP NAS.
Did you create the "dovenull" user, which is needed by 2.1+? I ran
dovecot 2.1.7 on my stock SS-439 quite successfully, until I completely
gave up on the QNAP firmware and reinstalled it with Ubuntu.
Yes, I've got dovecot and dovenull users. In fact (just to check),
doveconf for 2.0.21 complains if dovenull's not there:
doveconf: Error: default_login_user doesn't exist: dovenull
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /opt/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
default_login_user doesn't exist: dovenull
Interestingly, it doesn't complain about the absence of dovecot.
I guess I'd suggest configuring both log_path and info_log_path to
point somewhere, and look for additional clues in the output. Maybe
a missing home directory or a permissions problem on one of the
sockets in /var/run/dovecot, something like that. Remember the
QNAP firmware puts a bunch of that stuff in a very small ramdisk.
Tom.
