Re: [Dovecot] mysql authentication problems

You need to change the db_unix_socket line to reference /var/run/ mysqld/mysqld.sock in your dovecot mysql conf file, not just comment
it out. Be sure to restart dovecot when you make the change as well.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply :)

Yes, I'm susing both Debian and dovecot 0.99.14

I tried to connect using tcp and the authentication stills fails. With the db_unix_socket line comented I still get this error on my
mail logfile

dovecot-auth: MySQL: Can't connect to database dovecot: Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock'

I checked /etc/mysql/my.cnf and the path is correct: /var/run/ mysqld/mysqld.sock.

Any ideias? :(

Thanks,

Pedro
