Hi,
 
I am trying this way(mailinglist), as I cant find good
'support'/howto/tutorials on the website.
 
I am running Fedora Core II, using postfix with mysql, and I want to use
dovecot as imap server.
Now I installed Dovecot using dag wieers SRPM, I compiled it with mysql,
pgsql;
 
%configure \
        --with-ssl="openssl" \
        --with-ssldir="%{_datadir}/ssl" \
        --with-ldap \
        --with-pgsql \
        --with-mysql \
        --with-cyrus-sasl2 \
        --with-rawlog
%{__make} %{?_smp_mflags}
 
 
After compiling it, I installed the rpm. No problem at all.
 
I configure the dovecot.conf like this;
 
#auth = plain digest-md5
#auth_methods = plain digest-md5
auth_userdb = mysql /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf
auth_passdb = mysql /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/mail/virtual/%d/%n
 
# Use this logfile instead of syslog(). /dev/stderr can be used if you want
to
# use stderr for logging (ONLY /dev/stderr - otherwise it is closed).
log_path = /tmp/dovecot/log1
 
# For informational messages, use this logfile instead of the default
info_log_path = /tmp/dovecot/log2
 
 
Then I try run it:
 
 
[root at octa SPECS]# cat /tmp/dovecot/log1

dovecot: Aug 04 10:48:29 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down

dovecot: Aug 04 10:48:28 Info: Dovecot starting up
dovecot: Aug 04 11:04:38 Info: Dovecot starting up

Alex
