Mysql database configuration for Bugzilla

/tmp/mysql.sock might be the problem for you. You will have to change the mysql.sock to point to correct one.

Do a ps -ef | grep -i mysql

That should give you the correct mysql.sock, enter that path in the config.

Also, is that a semicolon localhost;3306 ?

the correct mysql.sock file is presend in /var/lib/mysql.

so do i use the following setting
$db_sock = '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock';

--W

yes

And yes

DBI connect(';localhost;3306','mysql',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at ./checksetup.pl line 1434


Looks like there is a semicolon.

Regards,

First try with the mysql.sock change and then replace the semicolon with localhost:3306 change and re-try it.

Can't connect to the mysql database. Is the database installed and
up and running?  Do you have the correct username and password selected in
localconfig?

And these are the settings, which I dont think need a change

#
# How to access the SQL database:
#
$db_host = "localhost";         # where is the database?
$db_port = 3306;                # which port to use
$db_name = "mysql";              # name of the MySQL database
$db_user = "mysql";              # user to attach to the MySQL database

Just leave these setting alone and just have the mysql.sock file path changed and try connecting through bugzilla

Sorry i read the error messages now. What is the version of the client & server you have looks like you might have to upgrade it.

http://www.softwaretesting.de/forum/message/61/

MySQL-shared-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
MySQL-client-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
MySQL-server-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4



And the database is tarred/untarred from

mysql-server-3.23.58-13
mysql-3.23.58-13
mysql-devel-3.23.58-13
mysql-bench-3.23.58-13

maybe I need to use mysqldump and restore. But the very fact that i can use mysql -u mysql -p  and login to the database makes me think otherwise.

If I try to connect via bugzilla I get the same error

DBI connect('host=localhost;database=mysql;port=3306;mysql_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock','mysql',...) failed: Client doe

        Bugzilla::DB::_connect('DBI:mysql:host=localhost;database=mysql;port=3306;mysql_socket=/...') called at Bugzilla/DB.

think i need to upgrade the perl dbi

or rather DBI:mysql

Actually looking at the error

DBI connect('host=localhost;database=mysql;port=3306;mysql_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock','mysql',...) failed: Client doe
s not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client at /usr/local/bugzilla/bugzilla-2
.18/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2/i686-linux/DBI.pm line 597

It's asking to upgrade MySQL client, at DBI.pm, what client is it referring too?

--Walter

The checksetup.pl script is failing at

 my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $my_db_user, $my_db_pass)

I am not sure about this one,

Try upgrading the perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3

Does the bugs databases already exist?

From what i read from this link

http://www.softwaretesting.de/article/view/33/1/8/parent/40/

bugzilla needs to have a username "bugs" any other username doesn;t work. Look at the Bugzilla readme and see if there is a specific requirement for mysql

This is the original server

 rpm -qa | grep perl-DBD
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5
perl-DBD-Pg-1.31-6
rpm -qa | grep mysql

mysql-server-3.23.58-13
mysql-3.23.58-13
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9
mysql-devel-3.23.58-13
mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5
php-mysql-4.3.9-3
mysql-bench-3.23.58-13


And this is the new server
rpm -qa | grep MySQL
MySQL-shared-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
MySQL-server-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
MySQL-client-standard-5.0.26-0.rhel4
rpm -qa | grep perl-DBD
#

When I try to install
yum install perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
Nothing to do


But this one works

here it will instal mysql 4.1 and uninstall my current mysql which is not what i want.

any suggestions?

Hi,
I have done the bugzilla installation anew, loaded the DBD::myql module.
Now I need help in restoring all the database of bugs to the new installation. I have already tarred/untarre the database under /var/lib/mysql

--Walter

how did you backup?

from what you are saying it looks like you have compressed the data directory and uncompressed it the in new server. A mysql restart would be good at this point.

That would be consistent backup only if no one was using the db/you flushed the tables & locked it. mysqldump/mysqlhotcopy would be best

I did a tar and untar as suggested.


# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 9 to server version: 5.0.26-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

I am stuck at reflecting the database in bugzilla. As when I search the bugzilla page for bugs, I get zero bugs found for all searches .

Do this to backup & restore

on source server to backup.

mysqldump –-useruser –-password=password bugs > bugs.sql

on target/new server to restore

mysql -umysql -pmysql bugs < bugs.sql

Hi,
I used
mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > bugs.pl

Now when I try to restore it on the new server I get this option

 mysql < bugs.pl
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

mysql -uroot -ppassword bugs < bugs.pl

You do know the password for root right?

Yup Thanks, I got that working. Ran ./checksetup.pl and bugzilla is displaying fine. But the users are complaining they cannot login with the username and passwords to the site. Do I need to reset the same in the mysql database?
