Hi, cronner
You can't install the vestacp or only dovecot ?

The install stops with dovecot

I can stop the vesta service and when I start i get

[....] Starting vesta-nginx: vesta-nginxnginx: [emerg] getpwnam("admin") failed in /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1

Error: dovecot start failed

show me please dovecot config

[....] Starting vesta-nginx: vesta-nginxnginx: [emerg] getpwnam("admin") failed in /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1

try to add admin user

protocols = imap pop3
listen = *, ::
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
!include conf.d/*.conf

useradd admin worked fine:
# service vesta start
[ ok ] Starting vesta-nginx: vesta-nginx.
[ ok ] Starting vesta-php: vesta-php.

try to change this line to this after

that worked;
# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
[ ok ] Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot.

Is dovecot the last step in the installation? seems that it stopped at dovecot?

after finishing installation you will see credentials for access to vestacp in ssh console and on contact email
