postfix/dovecot: dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driv

Hello,

I'm trying to build a postfix/dovecat/mysql email server.

I've followed the directions for the Ubuntu 12.04.

I'm getting the following error in mail.log.

dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'myslq'

When I installed postfix/dovecot, I left out the mysql-server from the apt-get, because I already had it installed.

I did include the dovecot-mysql, and it installed it successfully.

Since then, I've updated all packages, and tried doing apt-get install dovecot-mysql, which tells me it's already installed.

I've double checked all the config files, and everything seems OK.

Just wondering if anyone has ran into this issue, or has an idea what is wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Found the issue.

In /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext, I had…

driver = myslq

instead of…

driver = mysql
