Database initialization not working!

Saturday 20 December 2003 1:03:46 am

Hi,
In peformed a bundled installation on a RH9 workstation but when I try to initialize the database in the setup wizard no matter what I enter as servername, username and password I get back the message: " The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again."

What could be wrong with the database??

Thanks for your time!

Mark, thanks for taking your time to answer me!
- I am trying to connect to a local MySQL, the one shipped with the EZ package;

As root I switched to /opt/ezpublish/mysql-3.23.58 and tried to do a "Post-installation Setup and Testing" according to the manual, to see if MySQL is up and running:

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Post-installation

When I do
$ cd mysql_installation_directory
$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db
S ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

I get: No such file or directory

If I do [root@xxxx mysql-3.23.58]# bin/safe_mysqld
i get " A mysqld process aleardy exist".

There must be something wrong with the database setup but I have no ideea! The database is installed but not properly configured and I am not very sure that I can locate the problem! I will try to install a new database and link it to EZPublish. If you have any ideea about what is the problem please let me know! Meanwhile I keep my eyes on the handbook although I never set up a database before!!

Regards, Felix
