[Dovecot] mysql authentication problems

[Dumitru Negara]

It should be TCP:
--------------------
db_host = localhost
db_port = 3306
#db_unix_socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
--------------------
or socket
--------------------
#db_host = localhost
#db_port = 3306
db_unix_socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
--------------------

Not both.

And socket is */var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock*, not /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock
