Re: [Dovecot] Problem with mysql...

I have installed latest dovecot release and ran through the config file. Some options seemed unclear to me, but generally I think it is OK.

The problem is, that MySQL authentication does not work. [...] auth_userdb = mysql /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf auth_passdb = mysql /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf

In addition to what Timo suggested, I'd recommend first trying to get logins to work using more traditional user and password databases (i.e. /etc/passwd). Otherwise you end up debugging general configuration problems at the same time as SQL database configuration problems.

(My yet to be completed Dovecot-MySQL HOWTO will include this tip.)
