Topic: SAIL - Database error: pconnect(localhost in CDR report

[chris burnat]

After doing a restore of users on a freshly installed server,  the CDR panel in SAIL no longer works [https://my-server/stst]  .  The error shown is:

Database error: pconnect(localhost, asterisk, $Password) failed.
MySQL Error: ()
Database error: pconnect(localhost, asterisk, $Password) failed.
MySQL Error: ()
Database error: pconnect(localhost, asterisk, $Password) failed.
MySQL Error: ()
Database error: pconnect(localhost, asterisk, $Password) failed.
MySQL Error: ()
Database error: next_record called with no query pending.
MySQL Error: ()

I am at a loss on this one.  Tried to uninstall and reinstall SAIL etc to no avail.
Any pointer would be apppreciated. Thanks. chris.

Found the solution.  Noticed that when reinstalling selintra, there was a warning about a database "asterisk" already existing .  Uninstalled again (rpm -e) all asterisk and selintra rpm and done a search:
find / -name asterisk -print

Deleting all dir and files name asterisk did the trick: reinstalled and its working now.
I think that the problem was one of the following, no time to repeat to identify culprit:

/usr/lib/asterisk
/usr/sbin/asterisk
/var/lib/asterisk
/var/lib/mysql/asterisk
/var/spool/asterisk
/etc/asterisk
