Mail server won’t "switch on" IMAP & POP services

[Lohquetis]

Hi guys

Weird problem. Fresh install, right from wiped hd. (2nd time hence why I decided to ask!) When I’m in the Mail panel in the Server Admin, I click the POP & IMAP (Just like in the “slides” pdf) to enable them, hit save. It thinks about it, then they go to the “off” position. the “Enable SMTP” and button below are enabled fine, and save changes fine to (I’ve tried all!). Here’s an excerpt of the log (it’s all the same).

Thanks in advance!! 😀

Hi Josh

Believe it or not, turned out that there was no cyrus.conf file, only a cyrus.conf.default file.Found this out by watching the console on the machine while clicking save in the Admin. So, just copied the .default and it worked fine from there on! iChat server, now there’s another battle, as also is the Weblog…. Why are so many things in the manual inaccurate? ie location of buttons, including telling you where to click(Server Admin, Computers & Services, Weblog), that are not existing in the Server Admin? Future or past versions?

Thanks anyways mate. 🙂
