Dovecot problem

[eConcept-Web]

Hi, my dovecot is down. When I try to reset it by DA, it doesn't work.

When I try to restart it manually, here is what I got:

Starting dovecot: Error: service(pop3-login): listen(*,110) failed: Address already in use
Starting dovecot: Error: service(pop3-login): listen(*,995) failed: Address already in use

Any idea?

Try to restart it in ssh. It probably is stuck and is not shutting down properly.

I got this message in ssh.

I try /sbin/service dovecot stop , start and restart and always failed

Try this:

ps xua | grep -i dovecot | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
/sbin/service dovecot restart

doesn't work, problem with the kill part I think.

usage kill ....

ps xua | grep -i dovecot give me:

What do you get with:

lsof -i:110
