IMAP Server Error 111

[danelson64]

When attempting to login to webmail, I receive the following error:

SquirrelMail

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

[scsi]

Is the imap server running?

Do you have a firewall blocking imap?

[danelson64]

I apologize for not being Linux savvy, but what command should I run at the command prompt to detremine if the IMAP server is running?

from your server:

telnet localhost 143
I have no idea how to properly disconnect; I generally do it by sending quit; it appears to take ten times before it disconnects.

i have:

[root@server custombuild]# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot DA ready.

* BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.

* BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.

Is this good?

Hello!

you need to change localhost record in your "/etc/hosts" to
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

[gozargah]

Here is my current configuration:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
1*3.***.***.1*0 server.p******s.com


Is this true?

[Voland]

Yes, it's correct

[nobaloney]

And Voland, if you'd look at the first post you'd see that localhost was already pointing to 127.0.0.1 when gozargah asked the original question.

gozargah, I don't have any idea why your imap server is returning those errors. Perhaps you should reinstall (or have someone else reinstall) dovecot.

be sure that
127.0.0.1 localhost
is at the bottom of the /etc/localhost

or

Run the ...htdocs/squirrelmail/configure
option 2 server settings
option A update IMAP settings
option 4 and either put 127.0.0.1 or the ipaddress of the imap server.
You will have to do the same for SMTP
