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: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Error: pgsql: Connect failed to serviceadmin: could not connect to server: Permission denied Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Error: #011Is the server running on host "10.50.150.35" and accepting Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Error: #011TCP/IP connections on port 5432? 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?

most likely the difference between TCP and socket-connection

Using tcp for both dovecot and my test with psql...

i do not believe it..................

but however, if you do not post config informations and at teast the exact command of "psql" i doubt someone can help you

most people do not realize that "localhost" is implicitly a unix-connection and not the same as "127.0.0.1" as example

Hmmm... Well, I am not most people... :P ;)

psql -h 10.50.150.35 -U serviceadmin -d serviceadmin Password for user serviceadmin: psql (9.1.8, server 9.1.6) Type "help" for help.

And my connection string for dovecot, looks like this:

connect = host=10.50.150.35 dbname=serviceadmin user=serviceadmin password=xxxxxxxxxx

And can not see any difference....?

OK, found the guilty one... Just discovered than someone had enabled SELinux and it of course stopped the "suspicous" traffic from dovecot.... :-S

Is your dovecot server allowed to connect to your db server (pg_hba.conf)?

Patrick

Yes, as I said, it is working when using psql from my dovecot server...
