Setting up Rivendell to work on Fedora 23

hjventer1 · 04-04-2016, 05:13 PM

Please? I need help, I want to set up Rivendell Radio automation, and it first got stuck at the mySQL/Mariadb installation and after I got that working and set up a root account in mySQL, I am stuck again but now at the start of:

[henk@henk ~]$ sudo rdadmin
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: (null)

It opens mySQL and prompts for username and password and closes.

Please help

The MySQL/MariaDB passwords are separate and distinct from the passwords of system root and users. Have you created a root password, plus a Rivendell database user and password and a database for Rivendell to use? It sounds as if you haven't.

This is from slackware.com, but it might help you get a handle on this: http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:dat...l_on_slackware

A web search for "passwords mysql" will turn up a number of links and tutorials.

I did create a mysql root user and password but did not yet create a rivendell database. I'm not sure how to do that, any help as to where find info on how to create a database to use with rdadmin. thanx

evening frankbell

Sorry about earlier ! I did set a password for root of mysql an also created a rivendell database
but to no prevail. RDADMIN is still telling the same:

[root@henk ~]# rdadmin
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: (null)

any other ideas

Unfortunately, I have no experience with QSqlDatabase. I fear I can't help much with it.

If it is compatible with phpMyAdmin, you can log into phpMyAdmin and create a database through its interface. They seem to have a pretty good Wiki at their site, though.
