Hi, i tried to setup replication since some days but I'am stuck now.
My conf: # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace} log_path = /var/log/dovecot mail_gid = 5000 mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " notify replication" mail_uid = 5000 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { mail_replica = remote:vm...@server1.domain.dom replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap sieve service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = /var/log/protocol-lda.log mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmas...@domain.dom } ----------------- sql-conf: driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=xxx user=mailuser password=xxx default_pass_scheme = SSHA512 password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; user_query = SELECT email as user FROM virtual_users WHERE email ='%u'; iterate_query = SELECT email as user FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; ------------------ The config on the other node is similar, except the mail_replica settings. The weird thing is, that my logs are completly empty. I see only the dovecot startup messages and nothing else. I don't understand why the replication never starts by itself or why there are no errors or anything else in the log. I already read the dovecot replication howto in the official documentation, but IMO I've setup everything already like in the docs. ----------------- I've already tried to replicate my mailboxes using dsync, but if I run the dsync command I get only this output: bash-4.1$ ssh vm...@server1.domain.dom /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u j...@domain.dom VERSION dsync 3 2 Hhostname sync_ns_prefix sync_box sync_box_guid sync_type debug sync_visible_namespaces exclude_mailboxes send_mail_requests backup_send backup_recv lock_timeout no_mail_sync no_backup_overwrite purge_remote Smailbox_guid last_uidvalidity last_common_uid last_common_modseq last_common_pvt_modseq changes_during_sync Nname existence mailbox_guid uid_validity uid_next last_renamed_or_created subscribed last_subscription_change Dhierarchy_sep mailboxes dirs unsubscribes Bmailbox_guid uid_validity uid_next messages_count first_recent_uid highest_modseq highest_pvt_modseq mailbox_lost cache_fields have_guids have_save_guids have_only_guid128 Atype key value stream deleted last_change modseq Ctype uid guid hdr_hash modseq pvt_modseq save_timestamp add_flags remove_flags final_flags keywords_reset keyword_changes Rguid uid Mguid uid pop3_uidl pop3_order received_date stream cname decision last_used . Hserver1.domain.dom dsync-remote(j...@domain.dom): Error: dsync(local): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds dsync-remote(j...@domain.dom): Error: Timeout during state=slave_recv_handshake Any help would be appreciated, because I've really no other ideas anymore. Thanks in advance PS: Excuse my english, I'am german :D
