Hello I`m getting this error every time i try to run the install script. Does anybody know what is causing this error or how to fix it?? Mandriva 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- for d in uudeview.1 uuenview.1 xdeview.1 ; do \ ./install-sh -c -m 644 ./man/$d /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/uudeview/man/man1/$d ; \ done All prerequisites are fulfilled.

This means that either your mysql server is not installed, not running or not listening on localhost. If your mysql server is running, you maybe have the "skip-networking" option in you mysql my.cnf config file.
Mysql is installed and running: -mysqld (pid 2033) is running... I have removed --skip-networking from the file: /etc/sysconfig/mysqld I dident find any --skip-networking in the my.cnf file How do i make mysql listen to "localhost"
Please restart MySQL. Then post the output of Code: netstat -tap here as well as the content of /etc/hosts.

Looks ok. Can you connect to MySQL when you run Code: mysql -h localhost -u root -p on the shell? When you install ISPConfig you should enter root as MySQL user instead of ispconfig!
Yes,that worked fine I have tried whih user "ispconfig" and "root", but i get the same error same error
I fixed it, i had to comment out the line in /etc/sysconfig/mysqld like this: # (oe) Remove --skip-networking to enable network access from # non local clients. Access from localhost will still work. #MYSQLD_OPTIONS="" I had only removed the --skip-networking text not the hole line I also added #Mysql mysqld 127.0.0.1 in hosts.allow -------------------------------------------------------------------------- But it dindent last long at the next step i got a new error, can somebody help me??

Make sure that this IP address can be pinged. Might be your firewall that's blocking pings. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839
