Could someone help me out please. I have tried to install mysql5 onto mybookworld white light using

ipkg install mysql5

I get the following error message

Configuring mysql5
Starting MySQL. ERROR! Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.
postinst script returned status 1
ERROR: mysql5.postinst returned 1

I'm a total linux noob so I'd appreciate any help you could give.

Thank you

Which MyBook are you using ?
and what Mysql installation did you try ?

I have done my install with optware at the end I have tried to do:

/oopt/bin/mysqladmin -u root password mypwd

I had an error but fixed now.
Now I have another error but can't find how to fix it.
When I try this line:

/opt/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h My_server_name password mypwd

I get:

/opt/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'Server_salon' failed error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query'

Thx for your help!

What is it??

/etc/init.d/mysql.server start

If you want mysql to start, than you need to recognize that WDMBWE is designed to start only those scripts starting with S in the init.d directory. So you can simply create a symlink in the directory in order to cause an autostart.

ln -s /etc/init.d/mysqlserver /etc/init.d/S40mysqlserver

for all mysql command :

error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

thanks

I confirm to you that I too have had to create as root the directory: /srv
This one didn't exist with original mybook tree.
( I also created /srv/mysql, but I think mysql creates itself. To be tested)/

Sincerelly
Hervé

I need your help, thx…

So the server is up.

In my /usr/local/lib/php.ini, I have: extension_dir = "./" , but no link, nor library msql.so in this path relative to php.ini position .

The problem occurs when I run /etc/init.d/lighttpd.sh start .
If I enable the line extension=mysql.so in /usr/local/lib/php.ini then I get:

PHP Warning: PHP startup: Unable to load dynamic library './mysql.so' - File not found in unknow on line 0

same occurs if I replace mysql.so with msql.so ; none are found by the server at startup.

I use php-5.2.3 and mysql 5.0.21

Where are located mysql.so or msql.so and who generates it ( mysql compilation or php compilation) ?
Or did I mad a mistake by uncommenting extension=mysql.so in php.ini, and it would mean mysql is not an external library of php, but included during php compiling?

Thx
Hervé

/etc/init.d/mysql.server status

and see what it's doing. If it's not running

/etc/init.d/mysql.server start

It is a problem:
I uncommented this line:
extension=mysql.so
but restarting lighttpd says that it can not fine mysql.so
I tried msql.so , same not found.

I followed the process of compiling mysql in this wiki
ending with the classic make install
but, where is located mysql.so and where should I copy it so lighttpd can find it?

FYI my libs are in /usr/lib/mysql, but no mysql.so nor msql.so file.

Thx
Hervé

./configure —without-iconv —without-pear —enable-fastcgi —enable-discard-path —with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config —with-mysql

I am doing compilation right now, but I will also have to add extension=mysql.so to php.ini

Thx
Hervé

"php can not load mysql extension"

I should have forget either to install something or parameters with php.

do you have edited your php.ini to add or uncomment

extension=mysql.so (take out the ';')

I should have forget either to install something or parameters with php.

Thx
Hervé

There are some rather unique situations which popped up during my install, unfortunately I did not record them all for posterity. I do know that I now have a working Mysql, PHP, PHPMyadmin configuration. Be mindful that the small processor on the mybook soars to 99.8% (top session) during every mysql request. I'm using it as a playground for different CMS ideas I have but i expect every request to cause a slow down.

You'll need to do at least some (if not all) of the following as root:

Make install cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf vi /etc/my.conf #make any changes you need to make and save the file using <escape> :wq

When you try to start the mysql server it will complain about missing libraries so do the following to fix that.
(this will open the file ld.so.conf which is where library locations are identified.
The double arrow "»" means write to the end of the file)

cat >>/etc/ld.so.conf<<EOF /usr/lib/mysql EOF ldconfig -v

Now it's time to prepare the installation directory to be owned by the mysql user and group which you created earlier using addgroup -g 40 mysql and
adduser -G mysql -H mysql

cd /usr/share/mysql # this is the installation directory of mysql chown -R mysql . #Changes ownership from root to user mysql chgrp -R mysql . # ditto for group ownership /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql # this will install the mysql data directory and initialize the grant tables. chown -R root . chown -R mysql var

There are some security concerns before you really get going too. This is from the docs:(read the manual, manual good!)

After installing MySQL, there are some issues that you should address.
…On all platforms, an important security concern is that the initial accounts in the grant tables have no passwords.
You should assign passwords to prevent unauthorized access to the MySQL server.
Optionally, you can create time zone tables to enable recognition of named time zones.

Take some time to read some of the post install documentation. Be mindful of course that the directories and file locations you see in the docs might be different from what you're seeing in your MBWE.
Especially vital is a section on Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts <= Read This!

When you're all set, start the server:

mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

If you want it to autostart when you boot:

cp /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/init.d/

I have followed the hacks to install mysql (see bellow):
the last line is "make testdir=/tmp/mysql".

Question: Isn't any 'make install' to do after that? What is really done, only compiling or any install in some directories?

Thx for help.
