Symbiosis: Roundcube sieve breaks following dist-upgrade from Symbiosis Jessie to Stretch
Imported from https://www.github.com/BytemarkHosting/symbiosis/issues/118
Roundcube returns an Unable to connect to managesieve server warning when attempting to access the Filters or Vacation setting. This is due to a change in the sieve directory structure when moving from Jessie to Stretch.
In Symbiosis Jessie, the structure is as follows:
root@symbiosis2:/usr/share/roundcube# ls -al /srv/symbiosis2.default.aladlow.uk0.bigv.io/mailboxes/root/ total 24 drwxr-sr-x 4 admin admin 4096 May 11 11:31 . drwxr-sr-x 4 admin admin 4096 May 17 12:57 .. drwx--S--- 9 admin admin 4096 May 27 16:05 Maildir -rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 105 May 27 12:51 password lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin admin 23 May 11 11:30 sieve -> sieve.d/roundcube.sieve drwx--S--- 3 admin admin 4096 May 11 11:30 sieve.d
And in Symbiosis Stretch:
root@symbiosis2:/usr/share/roundcube# ls -al /srv/symbiosis2.default.aladlow.uk0.bigv.io/mailboxes/root/ total 20 drwxr-sr-x 4 admin admin 4096 May 27 16:08 . drwxr-sr-x 4 admin admin 4096 May 17 12:57 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin admin 21 May 27 16:08 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/roundcube.sieve drwx--S--- 9 admin admin 4096 May 27 16:05 Maildir -rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 105 May 27 12:51 password drwx--S--- 3 admin admin 4096 May 27 16:08 sieve
To resolve this, the sieve.d directory should be renamed to sieve, and the sieve symlink to .dovecot.sieve.
