When i go to login to squirrelmail I get: Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused

I have seen 2 other posts of the same problem and tried the things and nothing worked. It seems as though IMAP and xinetd was not installed so i tried up2date -u xinetd, i got an error about time so downloaded a rpm and installed it. That didn't fix the problem, so i went to install a IMAP server, i needed dependancies and found out the 2 of them were in OpenSSL so went to install that and it said that OpenSSL was already installed and it was a newer version so couldn't install it. I'm wondering if just reinstalling DA would be easier. Any ideas please help. I'm also kinda new to linux so talk in english :p
 
Hello,

1) the imapd we include is customized with our own code so installing someone elses wont work. Check for /usr/sbin/imapd .. if you have it, it's installed. To reinstall imapd, run:

rm -f /usr/sbin/imapd
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./imapd.sh

2) xinetd (inetd on FreeBSD) normally comes standard with all RedHat installs (DA doesn't install it). But you should be able to find it here: http://download.fedoralegacy.org/

or using:
up2date -u xinetd --serverUrl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/9/updates/i386/

Where you'd put your redhat number in replace of 9

Great Post!

I have FreeBSD and after step two, I just:

cd /usr/sbin/
./inetd

and it started right up... no more errors... thanks for your help.

Um, if this is so, how come we're installing c-client imap over in the horde howto?

Can't login via Squirrelmail this morning. It won't see any user. *sigh*

We are having a similar problem with Squirrelmail. Same errors message. Followed instructions in this thread and problem persists.

Steps used:
[root@server sbin]# rm -f /usr/sbin/imapd
[root@server sbin]# cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
[root@server scripts]# ./imapd.sh

Response from xinetd
xinetd: unrecognized service

imapd is installed where it should be as is exim. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

Dave
 
I running a freebsd5.3 Box.
And i recive the same error message.

Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
61 : Connection refused

I just installed this machine, and nothing change (yet :) )

I try to do what you say, but in my installation the inetd not running, and the imapd still sit on his place.

Any advice?
