When i was installing the dovecot, and it give me this message at the
end of installation:
Quotas set
Converting to dovecot: stop
done queue
Starting dovecot: Error: Dovecot is already running with PID 26828
(read from /var/run/dovecot/master.pid)
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf
[FAILED]
Done.

Not sure why's it failed here.

So i restarted the dovecot:
[root@server customapache]# /sbin/service dovecot restart
Shutting down dovecot: [ OK ]
Starting dovecot: [ OK ]
[root@server customapache]#

is that normal ? or something wrong with my server ? or dovecot.conf ?

Thanks.
 
The first start fails if DA has already restarted it (by this point it's already in the DA Task Queue).

I don't know what configuration error you might have had, but if dovecot starts and stops now I don't see a problem.
