Dovecot build failed

[TrafalgarLaw999]

Hi!

I'm on Custom build 2.0 rev 2821, CentOS 6.

[root@server custombuild]# ./build version
2.0.0 (rev: 2821)

I'm following this guide here: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2019

Got this error message:

[root@server custombuild]# ./build dovecot_conf
Updating dovecot configuration files...
ensuring ssl_dh for dovecot: /etc/dovecot/dh.pem
Restarting dovecot.
Shutting down dovecot: [FAILED]
Starting dovecot: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 21: Unknown setting: username_filter
[FAILED]
Dovecot configuration files have been updated successfully.

Line 21 of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf is:

passdb {
username_filter = !*@*
driver = shadow
}

This thread here suggested to build a new dovecot: https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/dovecot-down-error.56412/

*** There was an error while trying to configure dovecot. Please check configure/dovecot/configure.dovecot file.
[root@server custombuild]#

Tried to install those missing packages, but no packages were founded. Maybe I'm on CentOS 6?

yum install cloudlinux-scl-release
yum install devtoolset-7

Also, this is the content of configure/dovecot/configure.dovecot

#!/bin/sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --without-icu

From this point, I'm struck. Please help, thanks!

It's always wise to mention that you are on cloudlinux if you have a question.

Line 21 of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf is:

Yes it's odd that it's complaining about that, because on Centos 7 and Almalinux 8.5 contains exactly the same line.
Even that complete passdb block is the same.

What version is your dovecot.conf? You can see that on top of the file.

 

[TrafalgarLaw999]

I don't know if I'm on a cloudlinux or not. I don't think so, is there a way to see if I'm on it?

This is my entire dovecot.conf content

is there a way to see if I'm on it?

If you would have it, you would know it, because you have to pay for it. I'm not sure, but it's saying it did not find the repository, so for some reason the system is looking for it. But it might not be required.

The version dovecot.conf looks fine, that is the newest one.

No package devtoolset-7 available. -> Should be present in custombuild 2 though.

2724 - Use devtoolset-7 to build dovecot on CentOS6.

Are you on Centos 6 32-bit of 64-bit?

We have an Centos 6 box which has updated the latest dovecot update without problems so I doubt this has to do with Centos 6

 

[TrafalgarLaw999]

Are you on Centos 6 32-bit of 64-bit?

I'm on a 64-bit version, CentOS 6.3 final.

 

[Active8]

6.3 ? that is old ! please update to 6.10 first !
