I am currently facing the following log output:

connections on port 5432?
I have double checked the database. It is listening correctly and I
can connect to it via
psql -U mailreader mail
I provided all necessary information to dovecot via this
configuration snippet:
driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mailreader
password=secret default_pass_scheme = SHA512
does Postgres allow connections on "host ::1" for user mailreader ?
Actually I wonder, because I thought the Postgres lib defaults to
"local" (socket) by default on localhost -> does Postgres allow
connections on "local" for mailreader? Permissions are configured in
pg_hba.conf, but -> Does Postgres logs something? It should if PG
denies the connection.
I set the host to 127.0.0.1 now. And my pg_hba.conf looks like that:
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# Mail stuff
host mail mailreader 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host mail mailreader ::1/128 md5
local all all md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
host all all ::1/128 ident
What about the "Does Postgres logs something?"
Do you have SELinux or something like that running?
What about this question?
I remember that I had a server that had wrong permissions on:
ls -al /var/run/postgresql
drwxrwsr-x 2 postgres postgres 4096 Feb 10 07:32 ./
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Apr 26 23:15 .s.PGSQL.5432=
the .s.PGSQL. socket is the local socket usually used for localhost
connections and automatically found by libpg.
The folder /var/run/postgresql is not existing on my machine.
