Hello, I am using this guide to install CentOS on my server; http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.5-x86_64-ispconfig-3 except I cannot use the 64 bit version because my processor will not support 64 Bit architecture so I am forced to use i386. I was thinking that all the steps/commands would be the same, just change somethings around where it says x86_64 to i386, etc. But, I guess this did not work for me... I am trying to retry all the commands, I got to step 9 where I install Apache, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, had some issues there where some places say x86_64. Also in step 10 for dovecot, I did Code: rm -fr /usr/lib/dovecot/ ln -s /usr/lib64/dovecot/ /usr/lib/dovecot it did not work because I am running a 32 bit OS. So, I do not know what has to be changes for 32 Bit, or if there is a guide for 32 Bit CentOS. -Thank You
try to look at the bottom of the pages... there's some stuff explaining how to follow that guide for a 32bit system
Okay, Thanks. I am following the comments, but I am stuck. For step 10 where I install Dovecot and configure some stuff, I need some help. When I type the command Code: vi /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo I have this in there; Code: [atrpms] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - i386 - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-i386/atrpms/stable failovermethod=priority exclude=dovecot-2* includepkgs=dovecot dovecot-sieve # # requires stable # [atrpms-testing] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - i386 - ATrpms testing baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-i386/atrpms/testing failovermethod=priority enabled=1 exclude=dovecot-2* includepkgs=dovecot dovecot-sieve # # requires stable and testing # [atrpms-bleeding] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - i386 - ATrpms bleeding baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-i386/atrpms/bleeding failovermethod=priority enabled=0 I saw a comment for the links for 32 Bit architecture. So, I am not 100% sure that is right. Also when the guide wants me to type in the commands Code: rm -fr /usr/lib/dovecot/ ln -s /usr/lib64/dovecot/ /usr/lib/dovecot What do I do here? There is no lib64 dir because I am not using 64 bit, so I am confused on this part also. -Thank You
i skipped this, and it works well for me i've got no /usr/lib64/dovecot/ folder, only /usr/lib/dovecot/
Okay, that's what I thought. I just skipped it. But, now I have a different problem... I am on step 13 where I set Set MySQL Passwords And Configure phpMyAdmin. I type in Code: mysql_secure_installation and all the correct output appears. There is no root password at first and I go to set one, but when it asked me to Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] I typed in Y and hit Enter. I then got this error message; Code: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Well then I tried Code: mysql_secure_installation again and it asked me for my password and I typed in my password I typed in and I am getting this error message now Code: RROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I even followed these instructions on resetting the root password from here; http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html. All went well and it said that the root password was reset but I still cannot log in with the password I typed in again... What should I do? EDIT: Well I tried this Code: shell> mysql -u root -p and then I typed in my password and I can access the MySQL database, but I cannot do the secure installation above. EDIT2: I have also tried reinstalling MySQL and the same thing happens -Thank You
But that's the thing. I did not finish all of the steps for that. After it asked me Code: Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] and I typed in a Y and pressed enter it gave me that error; Code: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) and I could not finish the mysql secure installation. Is there a way I can totally remove the root password or uninstall mysql and restart this process over again?
I know, it's a very weird thing. For the secure installation I cannot login with the root password I set, but when I type in Code: mysql -u root -p I can type in the password I made and access my database... strange EDIT: I followed the steps and when I type in Code: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & I get this output Code: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql and then it just stays there. I it does not go back to the shell command line. I have to open another Terminal in puTTY and lof in to root that way. Also, I decided to run Code: mysql_secure_installation and it asked me if I would like to reset the root password because one was already set, I selected Y and typed in a new password and it was set. It then asked me if I wanted to Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] I typed in Y again and pressed enter and I got this output... Code: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) ... Failed! So I have no idea what is going on here....
I have fixed the problem. The problem was that I was using the # (Hash) in my password and I guess that was messing the secure installation up. I have taken out the # (Hash) and it works fine now
