Change index location problem
Hi All, I was unable to change location of Dovecot indexes. Currently they are under /var/vmail/%d/%u, but I want to change them to /media/ephemeral0/%u I've changed conf line in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/media/ephemeral0/%u and setup permissions of /media/ephemeral0 to dovecot:dovecot, tried also vmail:mail (which is default user for e-mails) and also tried with 777 on all dirs, but Dovecot is keeping creating indexes on the old location. I tried moving them from old to new location, but Dovecot recreates them on the old location. Details: # dovecot --version 2.0.9 # doveconf -a | grep location mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/media/ephemeral0/%u Has anyone experienced something similar, any solution for this? Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Change-index-location-problem-tp48468.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: Change index location problem
Did you've restarted Dovecot after changing the conf file? Yes, few times. What's in the logs? Maybe you need to enable mail_debug. I've enabled now mail_debug, and looks like Dovecot doesn't see new index location: Jun 11 12:36:16 dovecot: imap(e-mail@domain): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/vmail/domain/user, index=, control=, inbox=/var/vmail/domain/user # dovecot -n | grep location mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/media/ephemeral0/%u What's the permission of /media? Currently it's 777 and vmail:mail, which is a user for storing e-mails, but I tried with dovecot:dovecot which Dovecot daemon is running. # ls -la / drwxrwxrwx 3 vmail mail 4096 Apr 8 21:29 media # ls -la /media drwxrwsrwx 2 vmail mail 4096 Jun 11 11:41 ephemeral0 -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Change-index-location-problem-tp48468p48473.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Some lines from UserDB? # dovecot -n | grep location mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/media/ephemeral0/%u Did does not mean, that Dovecot is using this setting, though.

Re: Change index location problem
You are right, I forgot to mention part which is actually crucial here -
users (and their settings) are
being queried by userdb settings (from mysql), which will override default
dovecot.conf settings
(as described here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase ):
...
userdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf
driver = sql
}
...
And in /etc/dovecot/sql.conf I have:
user_query = SELECT concat('/var/vmail/', maildir) as home,
concat('maildir:/var/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 101 AS uid, 12 AS gid,
concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username =
'%u' AND active = '1'
So I modified it to:
user_query = SELECT concat('/var/vmail/', maildir) as home,
concat('maildir:/var/vmail/', maildir, ':INDEX=/media/ephemeral0/%u') as
mail, 101 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM
mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
.. and now it started creating indexes in /media/ephemeral0/%u !
Thank you for assistance
