After upgrading to dovecot 1.2.16 on CentOS I'm receiving the following error:
Error: stat(/var/run/dovecot) failed: Invalid argument
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf
I've since re-installed 1.2.14 and the issue is still there. I've downloaded the dovecot.conf file and tried that directly from the DA site and I'm still getting the above error.
This is a production webhost server and has been down since around 11PM last night. Any help would be appreciated!
Looking at /var/run/dovecot, this is what I see:
