Default dovecot fails to start

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 6.05.3 drake amd64
Postfix 2.2.10
dovecot-common 1.0.beta3
dovecot-imapd 1.0.beta3
dovecot-pop3d 1.0.beta3


I'm following;

Ubuntu Server Guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/...e/C/index.html

to build this LAMP server w/o having encountered much problem. After completion I started testing it and found postfix can't receive mails.


Remark:
having run update and upgrade several times


$ telnet localhost pop3
Code:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Code:
Restarting mail server: dovecotError: Can't use SSL certificate /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: No such file or directory
$ sudo locate dovecot.pem
No printout


$ ls -al /etc/ssl/certs/
Code:
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-05-19 22:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-04-18 07:28 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 2008-04-18 07:28 a69cfdd6 -> ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  895 2008-05-19 22:20 smtpd.crt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1139 2008-04-18 07:28 ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Code:
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
ssl_disable = no
disable_plaintext_auth = no
Remark:
Previously dovecot.pem were there.


$ telnet localhost pop3
Code:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
quit
+OK Logging out
Connection closed by foreign host.
It worked prviously.


Please help. TIA

Your install is very out of date. Update to a more recent version of Ubuntu

This version is still supported continuously by Ubuntu. Update and upgrade are still working with new/up-to-date packages available on repo.


I need the version to test SugarCRM. They have a guide installing SugarCRM on this version.
