Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

SeverName is misspelled! It should be ServerName = localhost

You only need the 00_default.conf for now!

I looked at that so many times, Can't believe I needed somehow to sever my server
Now we are looking better.

Excellent.....examine the phpinfo list of modules. Go to /etc/php/7.4
It may look similar to this:

open /etc/php/7.4/mods-available, mine looks like this:

the trick is to symlink these php modules in /etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d

mine looks like this:

in a terminal:

apache2ctl restart

Now run http://localhost/info.php again, scroll through it and see if the modules you added are present.

If you do not have the .ini files I will compress the ones I have a let you download.
You will also need a php.ini file. I can include a sample. It will be placed in /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

I only have 2 in the available folder.

Here is a collection of php module ini's and a php.ini
Important make sure to open the php.ini and go to the Date section and add your correct timezone!

Extract and place in /etc/php/7.4/mods-available then symlink and place the php.ini in it's spot.

restart apache

apache2ctl restart

Where do I find the php.ini ? Edit Found it.

Looks good so far. Now for the MySQL.....open the PPM and search for mysql-server and install it

Done. 116MB with deps.

add a directory : /var/run/mysqld
add a directory : /var/log/mysql
For some reasons Installing in Puppy doesn't complete the installation all the way and we need to do some manually. This is out of experience
create a user:

adduser mysql

this may be needed later. for now the next step is to initialize mysql in a terminal with :

mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql

we will add the security in the next steps.

Couldn't type a password

Changing password for mysql
New password:

and
root# mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql

You will not see any text when typing the password and the cursor does not move!! enter the password press enter and confirm password.
now do this:

passwd mysql

and type the password you want. remember nothing will move or appear.

I ran into this as well when I started with Fossapup64, it was easier with mariaDB on Bionic64 but this did not work correctly on Fossapup64. As long as the user "mysql" exists we should be okay.

Delete /var/lib/mysql/

forgot to change the permissions. In a terminal:

chown -R mysql /var/run/mysqld
chown -R mysql /var/log/mysql

and try again:

mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql

I fit is successful in a terminal:

mysqld &

On my system I use root so I need to add a -u switch

mysqld -u root &

if that looks good open a terminal:

mysql_secure_connection

I have had success with this method also:

mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD

There are other ways to set the root password on the mysql server if this fails. Plus there are some MySQL pages that have information on how to initialize and set the root password.
Our goal is this:

Got the pass set then.

root# chown -R mysql /var/run/mysqld
root# chown -R mysql /var/log/mysql
root# mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql
root# mysqld &
[1] 30731
root# mysqld: Error on realpath() on '/var/lib/mysql-files' (Error 2 - No such file or directory)
mysqld -u root &
[2] 31724
[1] Exit 1 mysqld
root# mysqld: Error on realpath() on '/var/lib/mysql-files' (Error 2 - No such file or directory)

Created the directory and got to.

root# mysql_secure_connection
bash: mysql_secure_connection: command not found
[2]+ Exit 1 mysqld -u root

Look with Htop to see if mysqld is running. then
Try out in a terminal:

mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD

This command will only work if mysqld is up and running

Didn't see mysql in htop. Started it and ran pfile on system for mysqld.sock.
File not found. See empty folder.

Tried root# mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

I have a password set as far as I can tell.

After my morning boot I was noticing a lot of network traffic so I started htop and found this.

There are 49 instances, is this normal?

Yes it is. Mysql wil also show many threads. Make sure you have created /var/run/mysqld then try to set the password again

I created the folder /var/run/mysqld
I did find an error log if that helps.

@peppyy Sorry I've been out of commission recently!

These errors mean we are trying to load modules that are not yet actually installed on the system. So open the PPM and update it as usual and search for those php modules and install them. They appear to be:

php7.4-bz2
php7.4-apcu
php7.4-apcu-bc (if present)
php7.4-bcmath

Is the mysql server started?/ If we can get the LAMP going we can install ZM and create it's database

Hope you are feeling better. I have been slow too lately with temps near 100f.
Got the math and the bz2
Looks like apcu is already there.

Stops and starts without errors, Will look at the log.

Still getting 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'

Made sure the directory was there and the directory was writable.

Now have 52 running from /usr/bin/apache2 -k start

Will have to review the thread to find some of the commands to test more.

When I go to 127.0.0.1/info.php I can see all the info from the server. Tried to attach the page a couple ways but it didn't want to go.

if you use Htop and F4 and type in apache then press F5 to switch to tree mode, you will see all of what you see is all really one instance

Use preferably: http://localhost or the local network address like: http://192.168.1.5 for example. When using the subnet IP you will need to include a virtual host config in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled that describes the address. We already did it for localhost

Why are we having a problem starting the mysql server? send some screen shots if possible.

Here is htop filtered

Here is the login. It appears I have my password set?

@rockedge I went to LDD and checked mysql, Miriadb, php etc and they all said there were no missing libs, however.

When all packages were checked there is a long list missing. I am guessing that one or more of these are needed?

@peppyy
we will not need those packages from the list as of yet.

Try this from the command line and report the results!

mysqld

mysqld is the mysql server daemon and does not need the -p switch.

to stop mysqld use killall mysqld But let's try out this now just as it is typed:

mysqld -uroot &

Report the results please. I think you are just missing something simple to start the server.

we are 2-3 steps away from ZM running!

root# mysqld (5 second pause)

root# killall mysqld
killall: mysqld: no process killed

root# mysqld -uroot &
[1] 26881
root#

Just tried this too , if it helps.
root# service mysql start

(20 second pause)

To remove this error you have to modify the /etc/init.d/mysql file and create the file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.

in the /etc/init.d/mysql search for the line with the "-i" switch and delete the "-i".

can you post what the error logs say? /var/log/mysql

After removing the "-i" I stopped and started and got this.

create the file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.

Do I create a blank file or use something as a template?

here is what I am using as debian.cnf. It seems in our case that it needs to present.

[client]
host     = localhost
user     = root
password = XXXX
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host     = localhost
user     = root
password = XXXX
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
basedir  = /usr

I am pretty sure the first (important) mysql initialization failed. The errors seem to indicate the tables are missing.
which would mean delete the contents of /var/lib/mysql and repeat the mysql setup process.
