Hi I'm new to the world of direct admin and I have a problem starting the Dovecot service, I get the following error:

Starting dovecot: Fatal: Dovecot is already running with PID 2472 (read from / var / run / dovecot / master.pid)

Thanks

I had the service running, but I've noticed that mail was not working and I saw that the service was stopped, I tried booting and gives me the error

What if you run:

Code:
ps aux | grep -v grep | grep dovecot

?

Code:
service dovecot restart

and first code again.
 
If I start the service I get the error I show the capture,

[root@prueba etc]#
[root@prueba etc]# ps aux | grep -v grep | grep dovecot
[root@prueba etc]# service dovecot restart

[root@prueba etc]# service dovecot status
dovecot está parado

Try this:

Code:
rm -f /var/run/dovecot/master.pid
service dovecot restart
ps aux | grep -v grep | grep dovecot
