Bug#825783: cyrus-imapd-2.4: Cyrus does not create directory in /var/run

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Dmitry,

each init script runs:

/usr/sbin/cyrus init-helper start

that creates /var/run/cyrus and /var/run/cyrus/socket directories.

Could you run:

bash -x /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/init-helper start

on your system to see what went wrong?

Cheers,
