1 Hello list,
2
3 Today I upgraded dovecot on my local server from 2.2.34 to 2.3.2.1. On
4 restarting dovecot I got this:
5
6 # /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
7 doveconf: Warning: please set ssl_dh=</etc/dovecot/dh.pem
8 doveconf: Warning: You can generate it with: dd if=/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat bs=1 skip=88 | openssl dhparam -inform der > /etc/dovecot/dh.pem
9
10 The second warning was spot-on, but what the first warning ought to have
11 said is "Uncomment the line #ssl_dh = </etc/dovecot/dh.pem in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf."
12
13 It took a bit of head-scratching to work that out. i just wanted to help
14 others doing this upgrade.
