[Dbmail] pop before smtp ; postfix and mysql => problem

[Markus Welsch]

Hi,

I should've checked if postfix is running chrooted and for that
reason can't find the socket file since it's placed outside of
the chroot tree. Well this was the case - postfix is running
chrooted (which is nice btw).

To solve the problem without loosing security you could bind
mysqld to 127.0.0.1 - so append to the my.cnf file:

        bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Next time you need to connect to mysql from a chrooted daemon
just connect to 127.0.0.1 and you're set :-)



Kind Regards,

Markus
