Hello there, I have just installed XOOPS on a Fedora 7 linux server. I am having trouble when I go tohttp://192.168.1.102/xoops it says that the data base cannot connect. I am suspecting I don't have all the proper Fedora packages. I am wondering if someone can give me some idea as to what packages I need. I currently have MySQL, Php, php-pear. Also is anyone knowledgeable enough to tell me if there are any special commands I need to issue to get the database to be seen. Thanks for the help.

Hi
Do you use SElinux?
Please, Disable SELInux protection for mysqld if it is thus.

Well, Do you use yum repository?

yum -y install MySQL mysql-server

And start all services, for example httpd and mysql:

#service httpd start
#service MySQL start

You will come to add to MySQL at the levels of bullfight 3, 4 and 5, so that the following time that must initiate the equipment, MySQL is qualified.

chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on


After MySQL initiate for the first time, as root executes the mandate mysql:

# mysql
> use mysql
> update user set Password=PASSWORD('new_password_here') where user='root';
> flush privileges
> quit


Why use fedora?
CentOS is better (IMHO: The best distribution based on rpm)

http://www.centos.org (and they use XOOPS :)
