[Dovecot] mysql authentication problems

[Pedro Vieira]

Hello all..


I'm trying to configure dovecot do athenticate using mysql, but I?m 
having some troubles...
After configuring the mysql athentication in dovecot-mysql.conf and in 
dovecot.conf, when I try to login I get this mesage in my logs:

Dovecot-auth: MySQL: Can't connect to database dovecot: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)



Any ideia why this happens and how to fix it?


Thanks in advance,


Pedro
