Hi,

I try to get courier-imap, mysql, postfix installed. I followed all the howto's I could find, but I have still some problems. Perhaps anybody ideas. I know the problem may not origin from an sql problem, but you never know. I use debian woody 3.0 and installed with apt-get the packages, also postfix-mysql for creating the mysql mappings. I receive the following problems :

postfix/trivial-rewrite[5498]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Nov 7 00:34:56 spiderke postfix/trivial-rewrite[5498]: fatal: transport table lookup problem Nov 7 00:34:57 spiderke postfix/master[5487]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/trivial-rewrite pid 5498 exit status 1

It is a bit strange, that I receive this message, since the file /etc/courier/authmysqlrc I find MYSQL_SOCKET /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock

For the rest there are a lot of other mysql databases, and they work fine. So I want to find out why the heck he uses mysqld.sock and not mysql.sock. I already tried with ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock But that didn't help.

Anybody any ideas ?
