Mark, thanks for taking your time to answer me! - I am trying to connect to a local MySQL, the one shipped with the EZ package;
As root I switched to /opt/ezpublish/mysql-3.23.58 and tried to do a "Post-installation Setup and Testing" according to the manual, to see if MySQL is up and running:
When I do
$ cd mysql_installation_directory
$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db S ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
I get: No such file or directory
If I do [root@xxxx mysql-3.23.58]# bin/safe_mysqld i get " A mysqld process aleardy exist".
There must be something wrong with the database setup but I have no ideea! The database is installed but not properly configured and I am not very sure that I can locate the problem! I will try to install a new database and link it to EZPublish. If you have any ideea about what is the problem please let me know! Meanwhile I keep my eyes on the handbook although I never set up a database before!!
Felix, It looks to me as though you are trying to connect to mySQL as user = mysql when it doesn't work and user = root when it does work. You probably need to create a mysql user in the mysql DB that has all privileges except grant which should be reserved for the root user. Your EZpub config should then be set to user = mysql. If you still have problems you may need to create a mysql user account in your OS with read/write permission for the mysql/data dir. Although I'm not certain the latter is necessary, I did this on my W2K server and have experienced no DB connection problems with any CMS applications.
