phpadmin mysql error
 

Hello,
I'm running mandrake 10.1. mysql and php installed. Not sure if mysql is starting at startup. When I do phpinfo this is what i get...

Directive Local Value Master Value
mysql.allow_persistent On On
mysql.connect_timeout 60 60
mysql.default_host no value no value
mysql.default_password no value no value
mysql.default_port no value no value
mysql.default_socket no value no value
mysql.default_user no value no value
mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.trace_mode Off Off

not sure how to troubleshoot this problem.

Try re-installing MySQL. Also make sure you have the mysql module for php.

Try _starting_ mysql to begin with (before reinstalling). Run 'service mysql start' as root.
Then s 'ps ax | grep mysql' shows if it started.

And you have the mysql module for php since phpinfo showed mysql info.

after type ps ax | grep mysql 12 lines printed ex.

2393 ? s 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysql_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --pid_file=/var/lib/mysql/localhost.pid

the other lines have slightly different. Would this be what you would expect to see?

Yupp, your mysql is up and running. To make sure it's started on next reboot enter ' chkconfig mysql on'

Thanks for the reply. I got no response by entering the command, but I expect that mysql is still working.

What i get when trying to access phpMyAdmin is:

An error occurred while loading
http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/main.php...59-1&server=1:
Timeout on server 127.0.0.1

and

An error occurred while loading
http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/left.php...fef018a328f1a8
Timeout on server 127.0.0.1

It appears to be working now. Thanks to all for your help!
