Topic: I killed my MYSQL database

[william_syd]

$mosConfig_user = 'www';
$mosConfig_password = 'some-password';
$mosConfig_db = 'Mambo';

If you use phpMyAdmin do you see a user 'www' ?

[Teviot]

I didn't ... but i added it ... thinking you would say that ...

Please check www.teviot.net to see the error i now get.


If i could have a guess ... recreate the database using the install instructions?

Does the mos_session table exist in the Mambo db ?

Did you give your user access to the Mambo db?

[Teviot]

nothing is in the database ... i'll take a punt and try reinstalling the database ... if i can't do that, I'll reinstall mambo with the rpm i have.   There was nothing on the web site i really need or can't recreate

[william_syd]

Hey it's working. Did you reinstall? You have todo something with the installation directory.

Nothing in the db, that will do it eveytime.

You might want to get rid of that warning in PhpMyAdmin.

Where do i get Joomla from???

I don't have that problem here.

It's probably in your httpd.conf or php.ini

Code: [Select]

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/php.ini

Search through both for

Code: [Select]

mbstring.func_overload

What did you do to your site.. I now get a directory listing?

Yeah.. Go Joomla.

dungog has made it easy.

Code: [Select]

SME 7.0
1. From the command line enter the following, (or copy and paste into your ssh client)

db yum_repositories set dungog repository \
 BaseURL http://sme.dungog.net/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/dungog/ \
 EnableGroups yes \
 GPGCheck no \
 Name 'SME Server 7 - dungog' \
 Visible no \
 status disabled


Then...

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Doh.. their site had gone down on me...

Anyway, it's dungog.net

their command will be something like

Code: [Select]

yum install joomla smeserver-joomla

you want to use

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=dungog install joomla smeserver-joomla


Check their site for the exact file name.


EDIT: One minute later Joomla

[Teviot]

Joomla installed ... just rebooting the server

Thank you for all your help.  I just hope that if the same thing happens again ( Hope Not ), I can remember what to do

Thanks Again william_syd

Are you rebooting 'cause yum told you too?

Remember how to get your password for the Joomla install?

During installation you will be asked for your mysql details
databasename 'joomla'
user 'joomla'
password 'config show joomla'

[root@kiwi bin]# config show joomla
joomla=service
DbPassword=N9RPYCxC5CX+1DuxChoiv96tb987adtb9afbt98a7fbeYakJ6Z8mxsCbXB78P
URL=cms

after installed, rm -rf /opt/joomla/installation

The installation questions are so easy, it's not possible to have a problem !!

Setup of joomla will take some time, change the default template and visit joomlahelp.org

to add a more memorable URL eg. YourServer.net/site
config setprop joomla URL site
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
pico -w /opt/joomla/configuration.php and
edit $mosConfig_live_site from joomla to site

Did you find your phpmyadmin problem?
