Hi. I am an extremely (completely) new user to BASE, and I was tasked with migrating from Base 1.2.14 to BASE2. Unfortunately, it seems, I started by installing BASE2, and doing all the other system upgrades necessary for that, which included updating MySQL from 4.1 to 5.0.27. When I did this, I had stopped the 4.1 version, which I had problems restarting. However, to do the migration in BASE, I apparently have to update to 1.2.17 first, then do the migration to BASE2, and to do the first upgrade, I need to stop the old version of BASE 1.2.14 (Does all this sound correct so far?), which won't stop on this error:
# stopBase.php PHP Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /usr/local/base-1.2.14/include/drivers/mysql.inc.php on line 86 mysql_pconnect() failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) Could not connect to database 'base' at host 'localhost' as user 'apache' BASE appears to be running, but connecting to the database failed. My question then is whether there is a way to stop BASE without having access to the old version of MySQL, or is there a way to make BASE 1.2.14 run on the new version of MySQL without stopping it? I tried changing the 'base' db BaseControl table to have startscripts = 0, as mentioned in the forums for after someone else had a problem where MySQL went down before BASE was stopped, but this didn't give me any different results. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. -- Marie Mooney [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
