Thank you for the numerous responses! Except the solution to change
"localhost" to "127.0.0.1" in the whole script, I tried everything you
proposed. It still doesn't work. Here a short review:
=== Are you trying to connect to the MySQL socket outside of the httpd
chroot?
===> after having run "apachectl start", I tried the same process using
"httpd -u". But nothing changed.
=== mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Works perfect. "mysql -h localhost -u joomla -p" works also.
=== Have a look in /var/www/logs/
===>in the errorlog of the folder is no entry. access_log shows up:
172.16.172.130 -- [09/Mar/2010:09:47:26 -0700] "POST"
/user01/installation/index.php HTTP/1.1" 200 4270
=== At the very least you'll also need the php5-mysql-5.2.6.tgz package
installed as well.
===> php5-mysql and php5-mysqli packets are installed both
=== At the very least you'll also need the php5-mysql-5.2.6.tgz package
installed as well.
==> That's the output of the mysql part in the phpinfo();:
