I installed e-smith 4.1.2 , service-control and phpmysql. Everything works great.
Then I decided to install IRM -
http://irm.schoenefeld.org/ - , an IT resource management project. I created an ibay, enabled cgi-bin, dropped all the files in it.
Edited the 2 config files and created the database using the e-smith phpMyAdmin module.
Now, here's the problem the main config file needs the user and password to connect to mysql. The user listed in /etc/my.cnf is mysql, but I have no idea what the passwod should be. I have tried several combinations and always get the same error message - access denided for user mysql@localhost (Using password yes (or no)) ....
The combinations tried are:
user password
root none
root e-smith admin
mysql none
mysql e-smith admin
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could report the proper user pass combination to connect to a database created with the phpMyAdmin module (if that maks a difference).
I thought about just changing the password, but I wasn't sure if that would cause problems for other program connecting to sql (ie. IMP).
In exchange for a solution to this problem I will contribute a mini-howto for those wishing to try / use IRM.
Thanks in avance to all replies.
