    hi all, during installation i got this error

    Code:
    ERROR: MySQL is not running! Please start your MySQL database and run the ISPConfig setup again.
    
    i am running MySQL server...

    Code:
    # service mysqld status
    mysqld (pid 31869) is running...
    
    and here...

    Code:

    Do you see MySQL when you run
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ? MySQL has to run over TCP, not on local Unix sockets. To change that, edit /etc/my.cnf, comment out skip-networking and restart MySQL.

    i can't skip-networking in /etc/my.cnf. here is /etc/my.cnf

    Code:
    more /etc/my.cnf
    
    [mysqld]
    datadir=/var/lib/mysql
    socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
    
    # Default to using old password format for compatibility with old and
    # shorter password hash.
    # Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Password_hashing.html
    old_passwords=1
    
    [mysql.server]
    user=mysql
    basedir=/var/lib
    
    [mysqld_safe]
    err-log=/var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log
    pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

    Can you post the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    here?

    Depending on your distribution there might be further configuration files under /etc/sysconfig or /etc/default.

    Since I upgraded ISPConfig from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 today, I get an error by eMail that mysql is not running, every half an hour. But mysql IS running:

    Code:
    # netstat -tap
    tcp        0      0 server.domain:mysql  *:*                     LISTEN     2446/mysqld
    
    I also don't have an "skip-networking" option in my my.cnf, but the new way of binding to localhost isn't active, too:

    Code:
    # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
    # localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
    bind-address            = 123.456.789.10
    
    The my.cnf seems to be touched during the installation, but I cannot see any changes. I already rebootet the server. No results, I still get the mail.

    It's a debian 3.1 distribution.

    What can I do? :(

    MySQL is bound to listen only on 123.456.789.10 whereas ISPConfig tries to connect to MySQL on 127.0.0.1 to see if it's still running. Either change the IP address to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, or comment out the bind-address line. In both cases, restart MySQL afterwards.

    No, ISPConfig doesn't touch /etc/mysql/my.cnf. You can have a look at the ISPConfig sources.

    Is there a special reason why you're using such an old distribution? I suggest you try Fedora 8 or CentOS 5.1 instead.

    Hi Falko,
    I use Old Computer, PIII 500Mhz, 192Mhz Memory, 20GB Hdd

    Please advice,
    Thanks for the quick reply.

    If you want to use it as a server, I suggest that you try Debian Etch. IT should work well on your hardware. :)
