Webmin on -current / 15.0 RC2

Mobile1 · 11-20-2021, 09:37 PM

Howdy,

I just had an interesting experience installing Webmin, it installed cleanly, the install wasn't the problem. Webmin doesn't recognize MariaDB and or that Apache / httpd is running. I'm not smart enough to figure out why of course, has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,

I saw this...

"In the upper left corner is a "gear"-Icon for Setting up the Mysql Databes area. There you can choose where the Config-File will be found.
I've switched it to the mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf and it works now."

?

Thanks,

Does your Webmin recognize that Apache / httpd is actually running? I got httpd working but MySQL / MariaDB still not right. There is no mariadb.conf.d folder in Slackware, is this something you created?

"Depending on how you've installed MariaDB, the default option file may be in a number of places, or it may not exist at all."

Great, isn't it.

Not sure your problem is Slackware related, Perhaps ask in LQ's server section or webmin's own forum?

And sorry for being unable to offer any real help, just a "webmin fan boy" in spe!

There is a /etc/my.cnf.d directory.
Your my.cnf should be there and then make sure webmin points to that.

Works for me.

Odd, I find my.cnf in /etc

That is just a reference to include /etc/my.cnf.d directory.
The installation instructions had at one time a selection of configuration files to be moved to the my.cnf file.

ok, thanks for the info.

for apache, you will need to update the module configuration and tell webmin where the pid file is (and update the rest of the options too)

I find it interesting that Webmin doesn't seem to like the .cnf file in /etc/my.cnf - even though it knows it's there : ) Webmin merely complains the following:

The MariaDB startup script cd was not found on your system. Maybe MariaDB is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect.

When restarting mysqld the message states it's starts the Mariadbd daemon, so one would think Webmin would know or see this:

211123 16:23:21 mysqld_safe Starting mariadbd daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

The slackware current installed /etc/my.cnf file is not a configuration file.
It used to be available in /usr/share/mysql, but sometime in the past they quit shipping the sample configuration files with mariadb.

There is help at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/configurin...-option-files/

This is a bit of reading.

I also found a sample config file at https://gist.github.com/Ishotihadus/...83055dc25af26d

Another option may be looking in the Slackware 14.2 package for mysql and use one of the sample configuration files there.
