Life saving guide. Not that if you installed mysql from a package from mysql.com you should comment out the socket line.

Hi,

Sorry to be boring but I’ve got the same problem as Martijn – no such file as authmysqlrc. The files I have in /usr/local/etc/authlib are: authdaemonrc, authdaemonrc.dist, authldaprc, authldaprc.dist.

What was the solution you came up with for Martijn? What parameters? Everything was going great until here.

Bt the way this is exactly what I have been looking for to get an email server up and running. Tremendous stuff.

Cheers,

Gavin

Richard5: It was the same issue as with Martijn, Gavin used a different MySQL install package and therefore the paths in the ./configure command for the authdaemon weren’t correct.

Should the file authmysqlrc already be present in the directory
/usr/local/etc/authlib or do you need to create it? I have some issues authenticating users for Courier.

Richard5: It is solved, Martijn was using a different installation of MySQL and forgot to change the parameters accordingly.

“Edit the file authdaemonc in the same directory /usr/local/etc/authlib.”

Filename shoul be athdaemonrc I believe? Not trying to be spelling crazyguy, just pointing it out mainly since it’s a filename. Thanks again!

Richard5: It is corrected, thanks for mentioning the error !
