    • stable wiki can no longer find MySQL

    Posted by Hologram posts: 6

    I have been running version 1.7 for over a month now with no problems. Today I tried to get into my site and I am getting this message:

    "Unable to login to the MySQL database 'tiki' on 'localhost' as user 'root'
    Go here to begin the installation process, if you haven't done so already.
    DB Error: no such database"

    I rebooted my server (Redhat 7.3) with no change.
    The database seems to be fine if I type:
    "mysql -u root -h localhost" I get right and I can type "use tiki;" and its ok.
    I have not installed anything new, I have plenty of disk space.
    I will continue to poke around but if anybody else has run into this I would appreciate any suggestions!

    Thank you,

    ~Hologram

    sounds like the db/local.php file has gone missing in action.

    Strange... My php.ini file was modified two days ago but I certainly didn't do it and I am the only user on this box.
    Thanks Damian I will try and figure out what changed in the file.

      • update***


    Yum did an auto update and the following files changed:
    10/08/04 05:37:25 Updated: php-imap.i386
    10/08/04 05:37:25 Updated: php.i386
    10/08/04 05:37:25 Updated: php-ldap.i386
    10/08/04 05:37:25 Updated: php-pgsql.i386
    10/08/04 05:37:25 Updated: php-devel.i386

    I examined the php.ini file and nothing seems to be obviously different.

    Nope, which makes this even more confusing!
    At least I know I have not been hacked.
    I was a bit nervous until I looked at the Yum logs.
    Well one solution would be is to turn off yum and recompile PHP at least that will get my site up and running again. I hope...

    From the output on your log to me it suggests that PHP was upgraded to a new version, along with ldap, postgres, devel and imap, but nothing about mysql.

    yum install php-mysql ??

    From what I can see nothing about MySQL was changed.
    Luckily I had kept my PHP build tree around and after doing a 'make install' it fixed my site. Of course the next time Yum runs it will mess it up again!

    I run Linux under VMware, so I made a backup of the session so I can reproduce the problem.
