I am currently facing the following log output:
Apr 26 16:40:28 h2290750 dovecot: auth: Error: pgsql(localhost): Connect failed to database mail: could not connect to server: Permission denied Apr 26 16:40:28 h2290750 dovecot: auth: Error: #011Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting Apr 26 16:40:28 h2290750 dovecot: auth: Error: #011TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I have double checked the database. It is listening correctly and I can connect to it via
psql -U mailreader mail
I provided all necessary information to dovecot via this configuration snippet:
driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mailreader password=secret default_pass_scheme = SHA512
does Postgres allow connections on "host ::1" for user mailreader ? Actually I wonder, because I thought the Postgres lib defaults to "local" (socket) by default on localhost -> does Postgres allow connections on "local" for mailreader? Permissions are configured in pg_hba.conf, but -> Does Postgres logs something? It should if PG denies the connection.
I set the host to 127.0.0.1 now. And my pg_hba.conf looks like that:
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD # Mail stuff host mail mailreader 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host mail mailreader ::1/128 md5 local all all md5 host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident host all all ::1/128 ident
What about the "Does Postgres logs something?"
The log under /var/logs/pgsql is completely empty.
Do you have SELinux or something like that running?
What about this question?
I do have a SELinux up and running, yeah.
I remember that I had a server that had wrong permissions on:
ls -al /var/run/postgresql
drwxrwsr-x 2 postgres postgres 4096 Feb 10 07:32 ./ srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Apr 26 23:15 .s.PGSQL.5432=
the .s.PGSQL. socket is the local socket usually used for localhost connections and automatically found by libpg.
The folder /var/run/postgresql is not existing on my machine.
