[Dovecot] Fatal: Unknown userdb type 'pgsql'
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?

Yep - looks like it was compiled without the pgsql support.
I've just pull the latest Fedora SRPM from rpmfind.net and --with-pgsql is not mentioned in the SPEC file.
Best grab the SRPM yourself and unpack, add --with-pgsql to the configure line in the SPEC file and rebuild - should do the job.

For long-term use, create an RPM macro that defaults to empty and can be overridden on the rpmbuild command line, to be loaded with additional configure options like this. Then submit the patch to Red Hat Bugzilla. In the future you can do something like:
rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'configureoptions --with-pgsql' dovecot-version-release.src.rpm
