Hi all,
i am
installing a library automation software called koha which uses
mysql-server. i initially installed version5.0 and later uninstalled
it because the system was giving me some errors. i installed the
lower version(mysql-server-4.1). when reinstalling koha i get the
following:
MYSQL ROOT USER PASSWORD
To create the koha database, please enter your mysql server's root user
password:
Password:
CREATING DATABASE
Creating the MySQL database for Koha...
ERROR CREATING DATABASE
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
Couldn't connect to the MySQL server for the reason given above. This is a
serious problem, the database will not get installed.
Press <ENTER> to continue:
i continued with
with installation to the end. As a result of the above problem
everything seems to work (adding members, searching and importing
records from the internet using z39.50) But
it doesnt add bibliographic records to the database- whenever i try
to add records i get a server error.
will be grateful if somebody can
sort me out.
i am using ubutu 6.06 operating
system.
Thanks
kenneth
