imap fail.

[lhpnet]

imap server was up right after I install Cpanel and WHM (all newest on Redhat 8. box), but it's been down very soon.
Please give me some guilines to where to look into.
When I restart it, this is what I got:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Attempting to restart imap

imap status xinetd (pid 16498) is running...

Someone please, please give me some hints as to where to start digging things up! I desperately need help..
Info such as where the imap config files are kept, where the script to start/stop the service are...

thanks again.

Hello,

The configuration file for Imap in the server is /etc/xinetd.d/imap. First check out the path for imap in the server by the command

whereis imap

Then you need to edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/imap and give this path for the entry 'server' in it.

now restart xinetd by the commands

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd stop

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start

This should make the imap server work fine.

service imap
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = imapd
disable = no
}


This is what is in my imap how should the path look in here?

It should look like this:
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
disable = no
}
