Joomla and phpMyAdmin errors

I have installed Amahi and then tried to install phpMyAdmin and Joomla but when I try to go to either URL I get errors

For Joomla I get "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter "mysql" is not available."

And for phpMyAdmin I get "Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation"

Any Suggestions? I normally use Ubuntu and would probably try to reinstall mysql but I don't seem to have that option in fedora's add/remove program.

wow. that looks bad - really bad.

i wonder if there are issues with your php-mysql adapter.

Code: Select all

rpm -q php-mysql
this package should be there and it doesn't get removed.
did you modify your php or mysql configuration?

I haven't done any modification other than let the update run but the problem existed before that. I only finished the install yesterday after the problems with the install.

running that command gives

package php-mysql is not installed

interesting.

Code: Select all

yum -y install php-mysql
i wonder if removing some of the legacy apps caused this. hmm.

just a thought, was I supposed to tick the webserver option during the initial install? I don't recall the instructions saying so but maybe I missed it.

no, you were not supposed to.

the whole amahi idea is to have to ask the least possible from the user (though unfortunately, installing fedora is still asking a lot).

i do wonder why this happened. mayhe your install.log and hda-install.log can help figure that out (both under /root/).

can you share them? (maybe via email this id at amahi.org or pm).

Installing the package seems to have worked, the question now becomes what are the default username and password for mysql and joomla?

I will PM the logs to you. BTW I used the fedora f9 x86_64 disk if this makes any difference.

Thanks

i don't see anything unusual in the logs.

i think maybe there is an issue with php-mysql where it was installed by default before due to some dependencies gone now.

since it's so widely used, we will install it by default now.

thanks!

Hello,

Fisrt of all, hello everybody and sorry for my english.

I make a little up because I have installed Joomla and I can't find the default user and password for the administration. I have installed it by the one click installation of the application tab, and I have done nothing else.

I tried to search on the forum and on google, but obviously I missed something

Thanks in advance

Kaalk

After installing an application, there will pop up a link to the newly installed app and on most it will show "Special Instructions" that, in that place, app packagers are to put the default username/pw if needed or link to somewhere that will give that information.

Some things you can try if that is not there are just the normals like admin/admin or admin/password.
