New Install question

Mike_Krebs · November 30, 2001, 2:49am

For some reason, when I’m installing I get this:

/usr/bin/perl tools/initdb ‘mysql’ ‘/usr/local’ ‘localhost’ ‘’ ‘root’
‘rt’ create
Now creating a database for RT.
Enter the mysql password for root:
Creating mysql database rt.

But MySQL IS working.

[root@stewie rt-2-0-9]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

Your MySQL server is old and buggy. I’d lay odds that
upgrading to 3.23.x will fix your problem.

I upgraded… yet I still get this error.

Any ideas?

This is well-covered in the archives. you’ve either got a permissions problem
or a mysql config problem. Go to http://lists.fsck.com
Search for mysql.sockOn Sat, Dec 01, 2001 at 07:39:41PM -0500, Mike Krebs wrote:

Hmm…

/usr/bin/perl tools/initdb ‘mysql’ ‘/usr/local/mysql’ ‘localhost’ ‘’
‘root’ ‘rt’ create

Looks good, but…

Now creating a database for RT.
Enter the mysql password for root:

“dbname=”. Maybe some kind of parsing bug in DBIx::DataSource::mysql…

I believe that’s actually correct. that’s before there’s a db named ‘rt’ to connect to. Mike’s problem was, I believe either a permissions issue with /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock being unreadable or mysql not running.
