I installed on Ubuntu 14.04 using the instructions here. Theres no errors while installing but I can not login. I am just told the username or password box is empty (its not) The apache log says: PHP: PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'ispconfig'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php on line 70 I checked a few config files mentioned in other posts. They all look right. And they all have the host set as 127.0.0.1. So I am missing something. Can someone help?
Is mysql running? And can you login into mysql with the data from /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/config.inc.php?
yes and yes. However the fact that it says @localhost is a problem since the host is set to 127.0.0.1. I prefer to not use hostnames and this makes me think its not using the settings at that location
I found that the installer did not give the ispconfig user any permissions. I fixed that and its working. Thanks for the replies.
127.0.0.1 is localhost and and the ispconfig user has to exist for 127.0.0.1 and for localhost in the mysql.user database of the mysql server (at least the ispconfig installer adds it like this, so as long as you havent removed it manually, the record must exist for 127.0.0.1 and localhost).
The installer also added the host as my FQDN. I removed that and added localhost and 127.0.0.1. I know they are the same but 127 does not require host lookups. It save time on each request. Its small but every little bit counts.
The permissions of the ispconfig user are defined in the mysql.db table, not in the mysql.user table, in mysql.user, all settings have to be "N". Do not set any permissions in mysql.user table for the ispconfig user to yes as this would open a security hole in your server.
I am seeing that now, thanks. I am removing those permissions. Why does this set the database accessible from outside networks? Shouldent it just be localhost?
You did the opposite. "localhost" in a php - mysql connection means to use the mysql socket instead of the network stack. With your settings, you forced ispconfig and mysql to use the network stack instead of the faster socket connection and therefor you slow down your system.
I looked into that and your correct. Although in practical application there is no difference in load time. Thanks for your help.
