With regard to your original problem, it sounds like you don't have mysql support compiled into Dovecot (--with-mysql option). Not sure what the logging problem is. I've debugged authentication using just auth_debug_passwords=yes, but I didn't enable separate log files so the messages were in maillog.

Hello

I am struggling with Dovecot 2 (coming from Dovecot 1.0.10) with
mysql Authentification for Postfix.
I get errors when using it:

dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'mysql'
dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling

But a first thing would be to log the real errors, if there are any,
so I set in

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf

auth_verbose, auth_verbose_passwords, auth_debug,
auth_debug_passwords, mail_debug, verbose_ssl

all to yes and I set:

debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log

but there is no logfile after restarting dovecot.

How can I enable a (verbous) own Logfile in Dovecot?
