Re: Joomla - MySQL Problem: Could not connect to MySQL
Not quite a solution, I think. What about if /var/www mounts in a different filesystem than /var? Hardlinks from chrooted environments don't seem to be a wise solution anyway... Just IMHO.

Thank you! Everything works fine! Now that it works we know that it was a problem with chroot. It might be a good practice now to hardlink the mysql.sock in the chroot directory so that you can run apache chrooted... I think you do something like: # mkdir -p /var/www/var/run/mysql # ln -f /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock Then if you shut down httpd and start it again, you shouldn't need -u any more.

Create a directory for the mysql socket. mkdir -p /var/www/var/run/mysql Adjust /etc/my.cnf to put the mysql socket into the chroot.

Re: Joomla - MySQL Problem: Could not connect to MySQL
Sounds very interesting. But using find / -name mysql.sock isn't successful, so creating a hardlink doesn't work. The directory /var/run/mysql doesn't exist either.

Joomla - MySQL Problem: Could not connect to MySQL
Hello all together, I installed PHP and MySQL on my box (running apache). When I try to install Joomla, the MySQL Database is recognized by the precheck of the install script. But when I try to connect to the database I get the following error msg: Unable to connect to the database: Could not connect to MySQL I'm a newbie using BSD. I tried really hard, but a simple mistake could be possible. I added the following 3 packets, installed MySQL and set the symbolic links: mysql-server-5.0.51ap1.tgz php5-core-5.2.6.tgz php5-mysqli-5.2.6.tgz I start mysql using the command: /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe I'm also able open the DB using mysql -u root -p. Any ideas? Jan

Jan At the very least you'll also need the php5-mysql-5.2.6.tgz package installed as well. It contains the base mysql stuff, mysqli is additional to the base. Try that and see how it goes. -- -RSM http://www.erratic.ca

What happens when you try: mysql -h localhost -u root -p But as the error messages says - Joomla cannot connect to your database (mysql). Have a look in /var/www/logs/ especially the error logs and also in the error logs for mysql - they should help resolve this issue. hth Fred
