New installation CentOS 7

[flycast]

When performing the set up part of a fresh installation I get the following error:

Checking MySQL-root access...

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2003] Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (13 "Permission denied")

 

I have connected successfully from command line as root to the mysql server and have connected using a php file using this script:

 

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'root', '[removed]');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

Just not from Froxlor directly. 

 

An help would be appreciated.

I have been working on this for two hours - honest! I went back and tried one more time with "localhost" rather than 127.0.0.1. It now works.

Sigh....

Now I have a different issue. The configuration file is not creating in the tmp folder:

Could not create lib/userdata.inc.php, please create it manually with the following content:

<?php
//automatically generated userdata.inc.php for Froxlor
$sql['host']='localhost';
$sql['user']='froxlor';
$sql['password']='[removed]';
$sql['db']='froxlor';
$sql_root[0]['caption']='Default';
$sql_root[0]['host']='localhost';
$sql_root[0]['user']='root';
$sql_root[0]['password']='[removed]';
?>

 

 

I do exactly what it says and create this file in /lib but the froxlor installation does not seem to recognize the file. I have confirm the file is there in /lib/. I have tried changing permissions to 777 (asa brute force way of making it work) and changing the file to executable. Nothing works.

 

Any help?

not /lib but /var/www/froxlor/lib....

[flycast]

I see.

 

I went to /var/www/ and there was no ./froxlor folder. I created /var/www/froxlor/lib and create the file. I left the permissions and ownership alone. They are:

 

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 304 Sep 13 19:53 /var/www/froxlor/lib/userdata.inc.php

 

EDIT: Sorry, I should have mentioned that it is still doing the same thing.

[d00p]

you put it wherever froxlor is + lib/ ...

[flycast]

That did the trick! For reference it was:

 

/var/www/html/froxlor/lib/userdata.inc.php

 

I am running apache

Thanks man! I had the some issue and this worked! Somehow 127.0.0.1 stopped working. Don't know why but localhost works.

Any idea what caused this error? I haven't changed the server config.
