Hello,
I'm trying to use postgres authentication with dovecot on a linux system running Fedora Core 2. Installation of dovecot was done by installing the rpm included in the fedora distribution ("yum install dovecot").
from /etc/dovecot.conf auth_userdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf auth_passdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf
but the logs tell me: dovecot: Jul 21 19:28:39 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot-auth: Jul 21 19:28:40 Fatal: Unknown userdb type 'pgsql' dovecot: Jul 21 19:28:40 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Jul 21 19:28:40 Error: child 5229 (auth) returned error 89 imap-login: Jul 21 19:28:40 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe imap-login: Jul 21 19:28:40 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe
I think that the fedora rpm was compiled without postgresql support. thank you for your help :-)
- Is the information given above sufficient for an educated guess?
- Would that lead to the above error message?
- What other errors may cause this behavior?
- How can I check which authentification types are supported by my dovecot-auth?
- Are there any other Fedora rpms compiled with postgres support available on the net?
