Hello,
I am currently trying to setup a cluster of mail servers. I currently have two servers I am trying to cluster together. These servers will also have a shared NFS backend. I have read on the site that I will need to configure director since I am using NFS. I have read through all of the documentation on director but still need a little guidance to get things up and running. One of the questions I have is about the base_dir on the Multiple Invocations section of the wiki. It states that I will need to change the bas_dir to the new run directory, not sure what needs to happen here, can anyone help me out?

Hi,

In fact you don't NEED a director. You can use two dovecot servers
sharing a NFS storage with a normal (backend) implementation. It's good
to see that page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS for some good recomendations.

You must have a base_dir for each instance of dovecot you want to run,
and a dovecot.conf as well. One could be director and other backend. I
suggest you have two separated configuration directories,
/etc/dovecot-director and /etc/dovecot-backend. Each with the respective
configuration. Start dovecot with "dovecot -c
/etc/dovecot-director/dovecot.conf". Backend is the same.

In order to help more, provide us more details about your environment
and doulbts.

The configuration use to be in /etc/dovecot, and the working dir is
/var/run/dovecot. You should store your configuration file in the
/etc/dovecot. The dovecot.conf file can be copied to
dovecot-backend.conf and dovecot-director, for example, and you will use
'-c' argument of dovecot binary to load on or another.

If you do this, you will need create two separated working dir, that
will be defined in base_dir on each configuration file.
Thanks for the replies,
I am still fairly new to dovecot and still learning. This is a quick run down of my setup: 3 servers running iRedMail (this is a package that installs dovecot 2.1.7, postfix, and LDAP). All three servers share an NFS backend. The same 3 servers are also sitting behind a load balancer. What I want to do is use these three servers as directors and mail servers. So from the replies I have gotten I understand that I need to create 2 config files 1 for director and 1 for dovecot. Now my next question is do these config files need to be stored in /etc/dovecot or /var/run/dovecot? Also is creating the second config file as simple as copying and renaming the dovecot.conf file?

The configuration and run/base_dir directories can be where ever you
like. The locations Eduardo stated are the most appropriate for dovecot
installed with an RPM. Mine were compiled and set in the home
directory, so they are in a slightly different location. As long as you
use the -c to point to the correct configuration file you should be good.
For mine I kept my dovecot config file in the default location and
put the director one elsewhere and created an alias, so that I can start
the director by just typing director. This might make things easier for
you to manage, then you can just stop it by running "doveadm -i
<instance_name> stop"

alias director="sudo -E PATH=${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
/home/user/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -c
/home/user/dovecot/etc/dovecot/director.conf"

Still having some trouble with director. I have copied the var/run/dovecot director along with the /etc/dovecot directory. So I know have /var/run/dovecot-director and dovecot-backend along with /etc/dovecot-director and /etc/dovecot-backend. The base_dir in these corresponds with the named directory in /var/run. The issue I have now is that only one instance will run the other outputs a bunch of errors:

root at mail1:~# service dovecot-backend start
[....] Starting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot-backendError: service(managesieve-login): listen(*, 4190) failed: Address already in use

i have edited the 10-master.conf file in the backend directory to use different port numbers but still receive the following output above.

Run 'doveadm -i director config' and 'doveadm -i backend config'. Send
us the result, please.

Run 'doveadm -i director config' and 'doveadm -i backend config'. Send us the result, please.

i have edited the 10-master.conf file in the backend directory to use different port numbers but still receive the following output above.
The configuration and run/base_dir directories can be where ever you like. The locations Eduardo stated are the most appropriate for dovecot installed with an RPM. Mine were compiled and set in the home directory, so they are in a slightly different location. As long as you use the -c to point to the correct configuration file you should be good.
For mine I kept my dovecot config file in the default location and put the director one elsewhere and created an alias, so that I can start the director by just typing director. This might make things easier for you to manage, then you can just stop it by running "doveadm -i <instance_name> stop"
alias director="sudo -E PATH=${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} /home/user/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -c /home/user/dovecot/etc/dovecot/director.conf"
Thanks for the replies,
I am still fairly new to dovecot and still learning. This is a quick run down of my setup: 3 servers running iRedMail (this is a package that installs dovecot 2.1.7, postfix, and LDAP). All three servers share an NFS backend. The same 3 servers are also sitting behind a load balancer. What I want to do is use these three servers as directors and mail servers. So from the replies I have gotten I understand that I need to create 2 config files 1 for director and 1 for dovecot. Now my next question is do these config files need to be stored in /etc/dovecot or /var/run/dovecot? Also is creating the second config file as simple as copying and renaming the dovecot.conf file?
Hi,
In fact you don't NEED a director. You can use two dovecot servers sharing a NFS storage with a normal (backend) implementation. It's good to see that page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS for some good recomendations.
You must have a base_dir for each instance of dovecot you want to run, and a dovecot.conf as well. One could be director and other backend. I suggest you have two separated configuration directories, /etc/dovecot-director and /etc/dovecot-backend. Each with the respective configuration. Start dovecot with "dovecot -c /etc/dovecot-director/dovecot.conf". Backend is the same.
In order to help more, provide us more details about your environment and doulbts.

Hello,
I am currently trying to setup a cluster of mail servers. I currently have two servers I am trying to cluster together. These servers will also have a shared NFS backend. I have read on the site that I will need to configure director since I am using NFS. I have read through all of the documentation on director but still need a little guidance to get things up and running. One of the questions I have is about the base_dir on the Multiple Invocations section of the wiki. It states that I will need to change the bas_dir to the new run directory, not sure what needs to happen here, can anyone help me out?
