I think I ran into this also when I was doing a setup on PF 5.5.2 once. From
some notes I have:
Did the installation with YUM and when that was complete then tried going to
https://<SERVERNAME>:1443/configurator
but was unable to load the page.
Used SSH to log into the box, become root, then I ran the command
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
(I suppose you could use "ps" to check if there are any mysql processes
running before trying this ? )
MySQL spit out some output and talked about setting up the PW for the root
user......
so then when the cmd prompt came back (I got two [ OK ] indicators) I did
these:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'newpass'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h <SERVER.DOMAIN.TLD> password 'newpass'
and there was no output after either command, but it looked like it worked fine
(no errors anyway).
So then I did this, per the suggestion in the original "mysqld start" output:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Since I already setup the root PW, I said N to that question, but Y on the rest.
Once all that finished, I was able to go to
https://<SERVERNAME>:1443/configurator
and it seemed to work OK from there. I was able to complete the "Step 3 -
Database Configuration" portion on the configurator with no problem.
So this is what worked for me. Other people may have better or more
appropriate suggestions.
