I installed cyrus-imapd and cyrus-admin via apt-get install. When I try to start the service with /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd start, I got [ ok ] Starting cyrus-imapd (via systemctl): cyrus-imapd.service. as the response but there is no process running. In /var/log/mail.err I got the following message: 

cyrus/tls_prune[8761]: DBERROR: opening /var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db: cyrusdb error
cyrus/master[8721]: process type:START name:tlsprune path:/usr/sbin/cyrus age:0.000s pid:8761 exited, status 1
cyrus/master[8721]: can't run startup

I don't know what went wrong. The file /var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db doesn't exists.

Any suggestions?

You have to create this file and give it permissions for the cyrus user:

# touch /var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db
# chown cyrus:mail tls_sessions.db

Check the other files in /var/lib/cyrus so the owner and group are the same as in the new file. Mine are cyrus,mail and I guess yours will be the same.

Then restart the service and it should work.

Hope it helps.
