Roundcube: Connection to storage server failed

[1cookie]

hi
I'm trying to login to one of my accounts 'admin', but receive the message below:



If I check my logs:

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/www/roundcube/logs/errors

Code Select Expand


[21-Sep-2013 17:19:02 +0100]: IMAP Error: Login failed for admin from ip.ip.ip.ip. Could not connect to ip.ip.ip.ip:143:
Connection refused in /usr/local/www/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 184
(POST /roundcube/?_task=login&_action=login)


That error corresponds to:

Code Select Expand


public function connect($host, $user, $pass, $port=143, $use_ssl=null) {}


from

rcube_imap.php on line 184

I tried this setting

Code Select Expand


// IMAP AUTH type (DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, LOGIN, PLAIN or null to use
// best server supported one)
//$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = LOGIN;
$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = null;


in:

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/www/roundcube/config/main.inc.php

and this

Code Select Expand


// Log IMAP conversation to <log_dir>/imap or to syslog
$rcmail_config['imap_debug'] = /var/log/imap;


With a failed login attempt, nothing get's written to the above log. It's not an incorrect username password combination, so what is it? I'm assuming this error would have been encountered many times before only I can't seem to nail it down after several Googles?

EDIT:

I needed an entry in /etc/rc.conf

dovecot_enable="YES"

Schoolboy error.
