Re: MySQL connection error after upgrade 4.9-5.0
One more step towards OT, and yet on the spot. Now it is on 'beauty'. At shutdown, we get always stopping package daemons:/etc/rc[260]: /etc/rc.d/: cannot execute - Is a directory Is there anything wrong, still, with our configuration? Uwe
MySQL connection error after upgrade 4.9-5.0
I have this unfortunate occurrence on one of my production machines: Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL I studied the Upgrade Guide 4.9 to 5.0 intensely before and after, but can't find what went wrong. I just did the upgrade, and made the links as proposed (so I hope) # pwd /etc/php-5.2 # ls -l total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 Mar 14 17:26 gd.ini - /etc/php-5.2.sample/gd.ini lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 29 Mar 14 17:25 mysql.ini - /etc/php-5.2.sample/mysql.ini # ls -l /var/www/conf/modules total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 41 Mar 14 16:26 php.conf - /var/www/conf/modules.sample/php-5.2.conf I also tried to copy the modified php.ini from /var/www/conf to /etc/php-5.2.ini Then the result is: Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter mysql is not available. pkg_info looks okay: mini_sendmail-chroot-1.3.6p1 static mini_sendmail for chrooted apache mysql-client-5.1.54p0 multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-server-5.1.54p9 multithreaded SQL database (server) nano-2.2.6 Pico editor clone with enhancements [...] pfstat-2.3p1packet filter statistics visualization php-5.2.17p5server-side HTML-embedded scripting language php-gd-5.2.17p4 image manipulation extensions for php5 php-mysql-5.2.17p3 mysql database access extensions for php5 png-1.5.4 library for manipulating PNG images I am very grateful for any help or advice how to further debug this.

From upgrade50.html: php module changes The various PHP modules (for example gd, mysql, postgresql, xcache, and various other modules which are part of PHP or from PECL) had their configuration files in /var/www/conf/php5.sample; symbolic links for active modules were placed in /var/www/conf/php5. These have moved to /etc/php-5.2.sample and /etc/php-5.2 respectively. You will need to check for existing links in /var/www/conf/php5 and create equivalent links in /etc/php-5.2. Note that mbstring is now part of the main php-5.2 package so an existing mbstring.ini symbolic link can be ignored. Yours, Norman

I wasn't actually expecting everything to be up 100%, but to be up, with the 50-default php-5.2.ini. Or, with the previous php.ini in that place. I also looked at the 'diff' before my post, but the differences are just huge. Which values did you have in mind for changing in the default php.ini? Uwe
Re: MySQL connection error after upgrade 4.9-5.0
check phpinfo() and determine whether the extension is not being loaded, or whether it is loaded but the connection is failing.

Yes, Fred, very much! - It is obvious that I failed - and still fail -
to understand the new startup system. Can anyone point me to a
complete overview to read up on it?
I don't get yet which utility starts and controls the package scripts in rc.d.
And slightly OT: I have stared at the
pkg_scripts=${pkg_scripts} postfix in the Upgrade Guide, and still
don't grasp what this is supposed to do, and where; since I am running
postscript.
Thanks again,
Uwe

I had read those. And yet, I don't understand that line. It doesn't
look like it should be written into rc.conf / rc.conf.local, does it?
Correct me if I'm wrong. It looks like a shell variable that has
'postfix' appended.

The shell variable is defined in rc.conf, and actually has 'postfix' appended when rc.conf.local is being run. Personally, I would not have expected the variable to be created in rc.conf, because since 4. something it is being considered 'clean' of user entries at upgrade. Would it not be better to add package start strings in rc.conf.local only? Uwe

Would it not be better to add package start strings in rc.conf.local only? of course it is declared in rc.conf. This file is used by rc(8) to define and control its variables. rc.conf.local is sourced by rc.conf.local near at the end to overwrite the defaults with user-defined values. Hence, it is still true, you put your local modifications into rc.conf.local, to prevent the upgrade script from overwriting them. So, to let rc(8) start daemons installed by pkg_add, you configure $pkg_scripts in /etc/rc.conf.local, accordingly: pkg_scripts=postfix mpd etc Note that rc(8) starts them in the order you provide with $pkg_scripts.
