Where to Install

[latcarf]

I reinstalled FC4 and then proceeded to install ISPConfig but it experienced problems at the end

Warning: main(config.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/install_ispconfig/install.php on line 624

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'config.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/root/ispconfig/php/lib/php') in /home/install_ispconfig/install.php on line 624

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/install_ispconfig/install.php on line 634

Congratulations! Your ISPConfig system is now installed. If you had to install quota, please take the steps described in the installation manual. Otherwise your system is now available without reboot.

Despite the last line it won't go to the login page. It worked on the previous install but I think I may have installed it from the wrong directory this time.

What directory should ISPConfig be installed from/on?

Will #apt-get remove ispconfig# remove the current intall?

You can install it from any directory, as long as you first enter the install_ispconfig directory and then start the setup like this

./setup

from inside the directory.

I assume you got this error because you tried to install ISPConfig before and that install was interrupted and you dont have extracted the installer tar.gz again.

To uninstall ISPConfig, run the following script:

/root/ispconfig/uninstall

If the uninstall script is not there, you can delete the following directorys manually:

rm -rf /root/ispconfig
rm -rf /home/admispconfig

Yes, don't do a second install from the same install_ispconfig directory. Delete this install_ispconfig directory, and then you _must_ unpack the ISPConfig tar.gz again. Then go to the new install_ispconfig and run

./setup

thanks till, falko...

My ISPConfig keeps stopping at the mySQL login ;

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
ERROR: The provided MySQL password is wrong! The installation routine stops here!

Should my mySQL user be "server1" since that is the subdomain name for this computer?

I don't recall setting a user name specific to MySQL when Ioaded it. I did write down the passwords, keys, passes, and challenges so I am sure I have that part correct.

I enetered localhost for MySQL server: and root for MySQL user;. When I log into the console as root it is shows as [root@server1].

Lance

p.s. can I use #mysqladmin -u root password mypassword
to reset the password just in case...

User root should be correct, but you need a password for the MySQL user root (which is different from the system user root!).

works only if you haven't set a password before. Otherwise it's

mysqladmin -u root -pcurrentpassword password mypassword

so you need your password again...

well I wrote it down and it is familar to me but it does not seem to be working I did a restart on mysqld and it stopped ok but starting timed out and failed. Is it possible to uninstall MySQL and reinstall?

[latcarf]

p.s. the command line to uninstall would help! Then I should be able to reinstall using the HowTo, correct?

You could try

yum remove mysql mysql-devel mysql-server

and then

yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-server

but I don't know if this will work for you...

[latcarf]

well that uninstalled it, at least 4 components as the console stated. I reinstalled but got the same error when I used

# mysqladmin -u root password ********

got this

# Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Difference is (using password; NO) said (using password; YES) when I was installing ISPConfig.

I am now doing a fresh install of FC4. If all else fails I will be very proficient at installing FC4

Just to be sure, when using The Perfect Install of FC4 HowTo and we enter

# mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

the only thing we need to change is "yourrootsqlpassword"?

"localhost" will always work for mySQL server name, and

"root" will always work for mySQL user on a fresh install of FC4 and ISPConfig?
