Dear All,

I tried repeating my success with XAMPP in a true LINUX box but for some reason I am not able to get past the following.

OpenEMR Setup

Step 3

Configuring OpenEMR…

Connecting to MySQL Server…

Looks like it is trying to connect to MYSQL endlessly. 

Any Suggestions!

Thanks
DM

DM,

Are you performing a new installation or trying to connect to an existing MySQL database in which you migrated over to the linux box? Have you check your file permission on step 1 or 2 of the setup? Make sure that you are also entering the correct root password for MySQL and not for the Linux O/S when you are on the step to create the database.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just check whether mysql is running? Are you able to connect with mysql client?
This issue may occur when the MySQL is not available.

You are right ! Mysql client is not responding.  I tried installing phpmysqladmin but it breaks with a file not found error for “mysql.so” . Looks like this file should be there along with the client package but its not it seems.  I am using Unbreakable Linux from Oracle.  I do see the client packages are installed but unable to locate the directory where these packages throw their programs.

Make sure the package “php5-mysql” is installed.
