Hi,

Trying to set up a mail server by using the Linode library article https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/postfix2.9.6-dovecot2.0.19-mysql
I have arrived at step 38 of the dovecot configuration:

ls /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ls /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

These files are not present and the how-to doesn't say what to do when they are not present.
What to do next?

I did a find for dovecot.pem on my system and found them in the following locations:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
/etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem

Some distros put them in /etc/dovecot instead of /etc/ssl. Just make sure that Dovecot's configuration points to the correct location.
