[Dovecot] Connection to PGSQL fails?

[Bjørn T Johansen]

I have configured a new server and copied the dovecot-sql.conf file that works a different server to the new server... But when Dovecot tries to connect to the database, the
following error appears..:

Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth
Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so

Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=1768)

But if I use psql and connects to the same db server with the same username and password, I can successfully connect...

What am I missing?
