The install keeps stopping just after choosing the installation mode. It says that MySQl is not started and stops. However just before I started the setup process I started all the programs including mysql. I did notice though that mysql started fine using /etc/init.d/mysqld start though restart would not work using /etc/init.d/mysqld resart .. it would stop but not start - it timed out. I could start it again using /etc/init.d/mysqld start though. What could be the problem? I am using Mandrake and followed the setup instructions for the perfect setup. Ben
Errors and Logs? Can you actually verify that mysql is running? # ps aux | grep mysql Can you connect to the mysql server? (might be able to just use 'mysql' without any flags if you haven't set a root password) # host01:/# mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1360 to server version: 4.0.24_Debian-10sarge1-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> If not, then I'd check the log files. I'm not familiar with mandrake, but standard places would be /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/mysql.err, /var/log/mysql.log, /var/log/mysql/*, etc. see if there are any entries related to mysql after starting it, stopping it, restarting it ... what have you. If you find any errors please post them.
This is what I got when I tried # ps aux | grep mysql What does that mean? [root@tidy-hosting install_ispconfig]# ps aux | grep mysql root 10351 0.0 0.4 2184 1140 ?

Where is the file my.cnf? I appologise for my ignorance. I am a very novice linux user (i.e. I have no experience except for yesterday and today whatsoever in linux)
... and how do I remove skip-networking? ( I have found my.cnf) There is no mention of skip-networking in the file when I looked at it. thanks ben

Did you try the test scripts from http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171? Did you make your Perl scripts executable (chmod 755 or something like that)? Did you save the scripts with Unix linebreaks (you'll get errors when you saved them with Windows linebreaks).
Thanks for giving me the reply.But its not the problem im having........ i've given the permissions to my PERL scripts.I can run my PERL scripts on Mozilla browser but in unable to run my HTML pages... Why i donno.Evn ive saved the HTML scripts in the same folder..... /var/www/cgi-bin and the path is http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/login.pl is working well but http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/login.html is not working.
