Connecting to Database...bug

[kemet]

hello everybody ...

i'm kind of little bit lost with the install process of ubuntucenter .
first of all i'm using dapper drake beta 2 release . then i install ubuntucenter packages straigth up with Gdebi the new .deb package installer of dapper drake, everything went just ok. so as reported in the install instruction ...

- i open my browser (firefox)
- typed in : http://127.0.0.1/center ------> a page comes with fields to fill, mysql
database records . so i did put my databse id/passwd and server
then there is a page that appears and it said :

Connecting to Database ....

and nothing happen at all, look like the process is just blocked at this stage
i was expecting a message like " succes it's done" or something like that but
nothing .
sorry for my english guys i'm from paris, so excuse me for the bad english ...
but please do any body have an idea to get this problem solve, cause i really and really wanna enjoy ubuntucenter like you people do , on my new fresh install of ubuntu dapper drake beta 2 . thx

I am a little suprised it doesn' work on a fresh copy, what I think it happening is it is attempting to connect but for some reason not, are you positive you have php5 and php5_mysql installed? this should have been installed but check anyway.

thank you for answering

yes i have already php5 and php5_mysql install , since i use it for administering my databse with phpmyadmin.

the things is that i check the dependencie matter and now i noticed that everytime i want to install ubuntucenter there is always php4-common, php4-pear
and php-auth ..nedeed ...so i install them too with ubuntu center .
but i taugth that ubuntu center only nedeed php5 and not even one php4 librairies

ubuntucenter should not be asking you to install php4 as it doesn't work with php4

apt-get remove php4

and anything else relating to it

make sure all of the php5 stuff is installed

then uninstall ubuntu center

and use

dpkg -i --force-all ubuntucenter-alpha-01.deb

see if that helps

[kemet]

you see i'm little bit surprised why ubuntucenter isn't using php5-common.
because when i install php-auth it will always nedd php4-common and php4-pear
i don't really if this may cause problem for ubuntu center to choose the rigth php-common librairie ...

it's really frustraiting me rigth now ...cause it's like i'm almost done with the install but when reaching that stage it's blocked with the message :

Connecting to Database ...

but thanx you travis for trying to help..
anybody else may have enconterd this kind of problem maybe ?

[kemet]

ok i'll try what you just sa

[kemet]

ok i'll try what you just sa

i'll try what you just said ...

[TTT_travis]

php4 isn't a dependency for php-auth you shouldn't need to install php4 to use it, try the steps I listed above, they should fix your problem...I think

[kemet]

really i really don't know what is going on .;; but it didn't work
i'm in same situation waiting for ubuntucenter to connect to databse .

all php5 librairies were already install before . all needed php5 stuff

it's really étrange beacause i can acces my database normally using
phpmyadmin with php5 typing in the browser : http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin

[kemet]

when you said php4 not dependencie for php-auth that's what i taugth but
everytime i'm using synaptic to get php-auth it requires two package php4-common
and php4-pear . i don't know why ... it's kind of crazy but true

[kemet]

maybe i have to configure something in mysql no ?

[TTT_travis]

maybe i have to configure something in mysql no ?

Shouldn't have to at all, its all automatic,

open up the terminal and run this command:


sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-gd php5-mysql id3v2 imagemagick libgd2-dev libgd2 php-auth


copy and paste the output to here

i just did it
and it says all php5 package are already installed
then new package which are going to be installed are : php-auth, php4common, php-pear .. do you want to continue ? press ( yes/no) : ?
if i press yes now it's going to install also php4-common librairies ...
i don't no why maybe the server between the usa and frence are not the same and the distro dependencie are a bit different . ... but i don't really think so

Think this might be dapper related, or like you said with the france dependencies, I haven't got a change to install dapper yet because it will require a lot of backing up and I am waiting for stable.

Sorry I can't be of more help, I need some sleep :)

Yeah, I will look into that one, I hate even having to have pear at all, its required for the bookmarks, I wish all php scripts would just use php_mysql instead of compatibility layers like adodb etc.

Sorry bout the dep bug,

Hey, i had this same error, it seems its not getting the apache_mod_php5 or whatever that would be. i did an apt-get remove php4* and then re-ran the above command and re-installed ubuntucenter, everything worked fine then.
