Dovecot won't start - /etc/dovecot/private/ssl-cert-and-key.pem missing

[finbarr69]

I just upgraded from Plesk 11.x to 12.0.18 and was eager to try the new sieve functions. I used the normal Plesk Updates/Upgrades tool to change the imap server from Courier to Dovecot. However, Dovecot will not start. It gives an error about /etc/dovecot/private/ssl-cert-and-key.pem missing

Has anyone else had this problem, and how is it fixed?

In the meantime I've reverted to Courier.

Thanks

Brian

This certificate should be generated during plesk-dovecot package installation. Try to re-install this package at least.

Thank you! I had to wait for a suitable time to retry. I have now been able to try to install it again and it worked this time.
