[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.8 LDA with MYSQL issues solved

[PA]

I had the config files in the conf.d/ directory as *.conf instead of
*conf.ext. When I renamed the files to include .ext that seemed to fix the
problem. Coming from Dovecot 1.x I never used extended config files in the
conf.d directory, apparently they have to be named .ext.

Thanks, Paul

Subject: [Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.8 LDA with MYSQL issues

Hi, after deciding to use Dovecot 2.0.8 as a postfix LDA using mysql DB I'm
running into some issues. I started to follow,
http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL but noticed that
the auth settings on the config changed, after looking through the dovecot
wiki I think I have that issue fixed. However I still can't get the SQL part
to work right, below is what I have on the conf.d/sql.conf and the error I
get.

 

service dovecot status

doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql.conf line 1: Unknown setting:
password_query

 

Where do I put the sql connect string, in the URL above that along with the
driver type went on the sql.conf file but that is no longer the case. If
anyone has a better reference/suggestions for what im trying to do I would
appreciated it. 

 

 

Thanks, Paul

'%u'

userid = '%u'
