I logged what I did yesterday to provoke this bug:
Installed phpMyAdmin. mysql and php Apache mod came with it. [operator
error: did not install mysql-server. See below.] Installation failed; did not
accept any proposed password; suggested abort. Surf to
http://elbereth/phpmyadmin: 404. [Elbereth is my workstation, the machine
affected.] There's no myphpadmin stuff in /etc/apache2/conf.d; there is on
testserver. [A test server running Lucid server edition 32-bit, LAMP, fully
updated].
Using package manager, re-install. Ended quietly, no password request.
No http://elbereth/phpmyadmin, either. No /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
as there is on testserver. Copied /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf into
/etc/apache2/conf.d: after restarting Apache, http://elbereth/phpmyadmin shows
up. Can't log in.
Re-do installation with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin. This
runs interactive setup script.
Re-install database.
Use local unix socket.
Database administrator: root.
His password: xxxxx.
MySQL database owner: phpmyadmin.
Name of MySQL database: phpmyadmin.
Web server: apache2. Error 2002: bad socket
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. Retry.
Configure with dbconfig-common.
tcp/ip socket.
Host is localhost.
Port number: leave blank.
Database administrator: root.
MySQL database owner: phpmyadmin.
Name of MySQL database: phpmyadmin. That finished with warning about
overlapping Alias in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf at line 3. Restart
Apache: same gripe. Can't log in to main or to setup page. Set
$dbuser='phpmyadmin', $dbpass='xxxxx' in /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php: no help.
Reboot: no help. Dpkg-reconfigure again.
Re-install database.
tcp/ip socket.
Host is localhost.
Default port.
Database administrator: root. Password: xxxxx.
Database owner: phpmyadmin.
Database name:
Web server: apache2.
New /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php is available, but existing copy is
locally modified. Install package maintainer's version. ERROR 2002 (HY000):
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. There is no /var/run/mysqld. As root, make
/var/run/mysqld and touch mysqld.sock in there. Retry (skip questions):
overlapping Alias. Login fails with no message, just presents login dialog
again. From command line, mysql: same bad socket message.
Is mysql running? Try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start: nope, no mysql
script in there. It is running on testserver. That server has a serious-looking
/etc/init.d/mysql. On Elbereth, mysqld –verbose –help: looks like it's not
installed.
Using package manager, completely remove mysql-client and phpmyadmin.
Error: tried to erase existing database, failed. Install: mysql-client,
mysql-server, phpmyadmin. Installed, twice asked for root mysql user's
password, finished without a whimper. Mysql user root can log in with xxxxx.
Create database “directory”. Create 5-field table on it. Add integer
field “founded” at end. Populate with a couple of houses.
http://elbereth/directory-database/show_houses.htm doesn't show them, because
users are not set up.
Switch to database mysql. Look at table “user”. Add one: public on
localhost, with no password. Nope, “#1582 - Incorrect parameter count in the
call to native function 'UNHEX'”. Use UUID instead of UNHEX in bottom 3 fields.
[Then follows several attempts to set up a public user privileged to
SELECT on database "directory". Today, an oft-deleted public user is still in
mysql.user.]
