Re: Drupal Configuration

Hi

Right, I've checked the MySQL database is up and running.  Checked the 
password and user name.  Checked that the permissions are correct on 
setting.php.  Can't find anything wrong there.

The reason I got started on this was because of the fact that when I 
try to go to http://localhost/drupal/install.php the page comes up on 
the screen and then starts to go round in a circle when I try to put 
the password and database user name into it.  To install Drupal you go 
through several screens which are > Choose language > Verify 
requirements > Set up database.  When it gets to setup database 
nothing happens.  As though MySQL is not running.  I have this in 
/etc/mycnf...

[mysqld]                                                                        
                                                                                
     
port=3306                                                                       
                                                                                
     
bind-address=127.0.0.1 

Which is explained here....

http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_install_a_LAMP_Server

sockstat -l shows..... 

mysql    mysqld     29695 10 tcp    localhost.mysql       *.*
mysql    mysqld     29695 12 stream /tmp/mysql.sock       -

and........

netstat -ln | grep mysql
c1f01080 stream      0      0 cdc77a10        0        0        0 
/tmp/mysql.sock

telnet localhost 3306 ....

Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.  Escape character is '^]'.
45.0.67+i,;%Dia.,_tL]p:m;|~(FConnection closed by foreign host.

Can't run the lsof command on a NetBSD machine to find any more info.  
Anything I can use to find out what port MySQL is running on ?  The 
other question is that is this a feature or a bug ?  Might be 
something to do with something running chrooted ?  Maybe the port is 
not running on 3306 ?

I have to find a way to connect Drupal to MySQL but I'm not getting 
there just now
