dovecot - Oct 2009 - Unknown setting: driver

Hi,

the conversion from courier was done without problems, but now I have a
problem with my auth config. I followed the sql example included in the
latest dovecot source, and put

driver=mysql

in dovecot.conf (outside any section), and now I get:

---
Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 50:
Unknown setting: driver
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
Starting DovecotError: Error in configuration file
/usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 50: Unknown setting: driver
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
---

So I'm lost... what's wrong? if I followed the example :o

Then, another question: I had to go back to courier so my users still
can work, but I already created the files using the migration script: do
I need to rerun the migration script? or what do I need to do when I
manage to fix the error above and run dovecot?

Thanks.

copy the sql-settings to an extra file (e.g. "dovecot-sql.conf") and 
reference this file as passdb and/or userdb:

Why did you think about putting the driver to dovecot.conf? Someone else
recently just did the same thing. Is some documentation related to this
written badly?

Run the migration script again with --overwrite parameter.
