[SOLVED] Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot dead after upgrade of MySQL

[Saurabh Barve]

Hi,

I got this working. I had missed out on a package MySQL-shared-compat. This package is not generated by default from the source RPM. I had to get it manually from "ftp://ftp.orst.edu/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.15-0.i386.rpm". I installed this package and restarted dovecot. Now works fine.

Thanks,
Saurabh
