ISPConfig is giving me a headache! I have Madriva 2006 and I have installed all the prerequisites properly using urpmi. But ISPConfig keeps complaining that the mysql headers aren't in the /usr directory. The installation program doesn't put them there, of course they're not going to be there! I have mysql server, client and devel installed but it's still not good enough. What am I supposed to do? I've urpmi EVERYTHING that's required but I need the headers in the /usr. Please help!
This is 32bit. Another thing is I could not do certain things in the Howto on my system: For one, I cannot run mysqld unless it's in safe mode, or I use the "service mysqld start" command. The How to says to just type "mysqld" to make it work. But it doesn't work. It gives some error about reading a manual to learn how to run mysql as root. So I just ran the service. I also can't do "/etc/init.d/network restart" because "network" is not even in that directory! I rebooted instead. Also, the way they have this step: "Restart Apache: /etc/init.d/httpd restart" doesn't work! I have to type "httpd -k restart" Why would my system be so different with the same operation system installed? I've verified mysql installed properly, I've logged in and seen the default database is available so it's good to go. It just didn't put it's headers in /usr. I don't know how to do it.
Did you have a look at this tutorial? http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_mandriva_2006 It describes everything that is needed to prepare your system for the installation of ISPConfig.
That's exactly what I used to get this far! Unfortunately, it's no help when I do everything EXACTLY as the howto says, but it doesn't end up right.
Maybe you made some typos somewhere? Because that is exactly the setup I used, and I never had problems with it...
I had no typos. I did however have an already operational mysql running before I tried to install ISPConfig. I rebooted and voila! The headers were where they were supposed to be and the install went swimmingly until... Whammo enter your MySQL database: I enter: mysql But the damn thing doesn't accept my password! It of course destroys the entire half hour setup and kicks me out. SON OF A! I test my mysql password out right after that: mysql -u root -p enter password: ***** Bingo, starts right up. So why would ISPConfig not take it? There's no special characters, just a simple word. This install is killing me! Taking up a half a day and counting and still starts back to ground zero. *edit* Apparantly I messed this one up myself upon second look. I should have said localhost then root, then password. Another 30 minutes to go until I get back to where I was...
Man this sucks! Now the install script thinks I'm installing an upgrade and it's calling on the WRONG password I supplied the first time and the ./setup script is completely blowing up with only 4 lines left. It tells me the install went fine even though it threw 4 huge errors right before. It can't log in to the DB because it's trying to use the wrong password and now I have to hunt down where it's storing it to change it... Anybody know where it's kept? ISPconfig is looking for config.inc.php, but it's not there sine the first install didn't work. Now I can't reinstall it because it was partially installed and it thinks it's upgrading. So it looks for config.inc.php and it isn't there then it errors out and the cycle begins anew... Anyone know where I can get a config.inc.php file and edit it with the correct db_name and password? *edit* Ah, this is EXACTLY my problem. I hope it helps my errors: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182
Please read the installation manual. It is described there which directories have to be removed to reinstall ISPConfig on an unfinished prior installation.
