Re-posted (corrected a typo in config file name): I want to set up a central log server, doing this on RH9. Using msyslog, a replacement for syslog which can log to a mysql db. I originally had msyslogd logging successfully to mysql. Great, but I want to be able to view my logs via http, and after having trouble setting up apache with PHP support and the tie-in to mysql, I decided to use XAMPP (formerly LAMPP) ver 1.3, which installs all the components I need apache, PHP, mysql, PHPAdmin (and other items) as a package. (I uninstalled mysql and apache first.)
Very nice but now I can't get msyslog to connect to mysql. In the logs, I have: om_mysql: sending messages to localhost, database msyslog, table syslogTB. om_mysql_write: Lost connection! [Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysq That last line is truncated in the log. I presume it would complete with the socket file, which would be defined in my /etc/my.cnf: [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid Can anyone tell me where to start on this?
