when logging into squirril mail i get this message

ERROR
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
111 : Connection refused


sure theres a simple expanation but i cant see it!
 
[root@server scripts]# telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

after that i still get this, and i cant work out how to edit hosts? im guessing that this will setup local hoost for everything including mysql? im a noob to DA any help would be appreciated thanks guys Kyle
 
check if xinetd is running

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd status

then try

telnet localhost 143
 
ok done that, and this is all i get?

[root@server ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd status
xinetd (pid 3059) is running...
[root@server ~]# telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
 
can u please try

#ping localhost

and see what comes up. I wonder, if there is anything wrong with the domain resolving.

Just a guess.
 
Check your /etc/hosts file. Make sure you have one line that contains:
Code:
127.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost
 
how do i do this? i looked for the hosts file but i cant find it, my ftp wonts lets me!

helpers!
 
Use you favourite text editor to edit it. E.g.:
Code:
nano /etc/hosts

On FreeBSD:
Code:
ee /etc/hosts

Add:
Code:
127.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost

And save the file.
