Hi,

sorry to post about that but I have some issues to migrate my dovecot 1.x to 2.x. I have installed dovecot 2.x package on ubuntu natty(package were generated from sources found in debian testing), and I have modified config files like that :

dovecot.conf:

!include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol listen = *, :: !include conf.d/*.conf !include_try local.conf

conf.d/10-auth.conf:

!include auth-sql.conf.ext

so I have uncommented the auth-sql.conf.ext because I want a sql auth but these file is not available so I copied the file ../dovecot-sql.conf.ext and rename it into auth-sql.conf.ext.

conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext:

driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=foobarserver user=foo password=bar default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM view_users WHERE email='%u';

When I try to load the config I get the following error :

root@sd-30635:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# dovecot -n # 2.0.13 (ba03935cc599): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext line 29: Unknown setting: driver doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext line 29: Unknown setting: driver

I searched on the mailing list and I found an answer but I am still not sure how to solve it.

UPDATE : after trying to use my brain I found the solution to my issue but I am still posting to help people that may have the same problem and to make you notice that the current configuration files are not logical. I mean in conf.d/10-auth.conf you can uncomment auth-sql.conf.ext but the file is not available (maybe it's a packaging problem). So I did the following steps :

cp conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext

Then I have edited conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext:

passdb { driver = mysql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext }

OK so far so good, next problem is about the old configuration lines :

# It's possible to export the authentication interface to other programs: socket listen { master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) user = vmail #group = } client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 } }

Where should I put them in the new config file hierarchy ? And do I still need them ? Just for information I have based my mail setup on the following guide : http://workaround.org/ispmail/etch

Thanks
