Hi All
Been busy for a few days with my monthly Journal so had to put this
problem on the 'Back-Burner'.
I have been using Base for a few years now and finally got fed up with
all the crashes and lost data. So late last year - with a LOT of very
appreciated help from the Forum - I managed to get MySQL working 100%
with Base as the front end.
At the beginning of March I upgraded my OpSys to the latest version
(PClinuxOS 2013.02) and my LibreOffice to 4.0.0.3. I tried this first on
a "Test Computer" I have here and all worked well, including MySQL!! So
I upgraded my main machine.
I have everything working fine _EXCEPT_ for MySQL on this machine!!
(Rather strange that one computer works and the other does not!! Both
have Intel Motherboards and CPUs).
I seem to be at the stage that I can not get phpMyAdmin to run because
of httpd, which I am unable to set to run at boot.
When I try to log in to phpMyAdmin I get the error "#1045 Cannot log in
to the MySQL server"
I really need to "crack" this one urgently and I'm hoping Alex, Gervin,
Dan, Heinz or some of our other MySQL/Base "Boffins" will be able to
help me. As I said previously I posted this problem on the PCLOS Forum
and one guy - "YouCanToo" - came back to me a few times but we were not
able to crack it and he has no "disappeared"!!
This is what I did in setting up the system ...
_*INSTALL THE FOLLOWING*_-
*
*MySQL*– Database. /(//now //Installs automatically)/
*
*MyAdmin*- Database Manager. (*'**phpMyAdmin**'*through Synaptic)
*
*MySQL **C**onnector.*- Download
*'**mysql-connector-java-5.1.2**3.tar.gz**' *from the MySQL Download
page,**un-tar it, then inLO go to Options -> Advanced. There you
specify the directory into which you put the .jar-file of the
connector in the 'Class Path' under 'Add Archives'.
*
*mysqli Extension *download*'php-mysqli' *via Synaptic.
*_SET-UP STEPS_ ...*
*A **.*Check*my.cnf*file in /etc and comment out the line “skip
networking” by putting a # at the front of it. Thisenables network
(localhost) access.
*B. *Start*MyAdmin **- **(**For **F**irst-**T**ime **U**se**)*- STOP the
MySQL Server in PCC and reset the MySQL root password. Enter the
following lines in your terminal.
1.
Start the mysqld configuration *as SU*.
mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
2.
Login to MySQL as root.
mysql -u root mysql
3.
Replace YOURNEWPASSWORD with your new password!
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit;
Re-start MyAdmin in the PCC.
*
C. *Start*MyAdmin* as 'root' with your new password. ** *[_THIS IS WHEN
I GET THE ERROR_**]*
Someone mentioned that there are other options to MyAdmin but do not
know about these.
What are your suggestions for me to crack this one please.
