>Cyrus IMAP on Hardy Heron
>So you’ve just installed cyrus imap on Hardy Heron and you can’t seem to connect. You try a test telnet session and get
icottee@ijcdev:~$ telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* BYE Fatal error: can't write proc file
Connection closed by foreign host.
Take a look in /var/log/mail.err and you’ll see stuff like

The solution is simple
chown -R cyrus /var/lib/cyrus
I’d give cyrus a restart after that as well.

>Phew, given the problems some people have been having with Hardy, when I got to the line:
“The solution is simple”
I half expected to see following:
“Re-install gutsy”.

>Thanks, the post was very useful.
Suggestion: Change the group also
chown -R cyrus:mail /var/lib/cyrus
>another good idea is to
chown -R cyrus:mail /var/spool/cyrus
also…
>Also I needed to do:
chown -R cyrus:mail /var/spool/sieve/
in order to use avelsieve through squirrelmail.
Thanks!
