question about library article on postfix email

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" target="_blank">](https://library.linode.com/email/postfi … 0.19-mysql">https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/postfix2.9.6-dovecot2.0.19-mysql](

I have arrived at step 38 of the dovecot configuration:
> 38. Verify that the default Dovecot SSL certificate and key exist by entering the following commands, one by one:

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.
