Hi People,

I am setting up a new dovecot server for testing first prior production upgrade from 1.2.x to 2.0.x.

I used the RPMs from ATrpms: dovecot-2.0.0-1_117.el5.x86_64.rpm

The errors I am getting:

Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown passdb driver 'mysql' Aug 27 18:15:29 testbox dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Aug 27 18:15:59 testbox dovecot: imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=4323, input bytes=0

It is clearly seen that mysql drivers are installed and being loaded during dovecot startup.

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext

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

userdb { driver = prefetch }

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

Any ideas what else could be wrong?
