Hello, i'm currently trying to install a mailserver on my virtual machine with Debian. I follow a German HowTo and have a (simple) problem. When I restart the dovecot daemon no error occurs but when I view the mail.log it first says that Dovecot is starting up but after that it says Code: auth(default) : sql: Configuration file path not given If I knew how to do it I would show you my main.cf but I just don't know how to do that since I work in VMware. If anything needed I could only paste some specific parts since 1000 lines are just too much.
I guess it is a problem with your dovecot.conf (maybe this part: Code: passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } ). You can take a look at files with vi or cat.
