[Opensim-users] SoaS 0.7.3 & phpMyAdmin

[Cider Jack]

Ok, I decided to check log files (should have started there, I
suppose). They look fine, no errors - BUT I did notice somewhere along
the line Apache switched from listening over port 80 to port 26535. So
I switched that back to 80 and started up SoaS. Everything seemed to
be working fine, could log in with Imprudence just fine... I point my
browser at localhost, and the server homepage loads up. Great!
except...

--Apache 2.2.11 is running
--PHP 5.3.5 works
**MySql is not running**

Hmmm,very odd that Mowes reports MySql as running... and obviously it
is or SoaS wouldn't work at all. Anyway, I click the link on that page
to open phpMyAdmin and get the same old error, can't connect to the
server.

So I change the listening port back to 26535 and restart SoaS. Point
browser at localhost:26535 and get to the server homepage. Same thing:
MySql is not running (even though it is). This time however when I
click the link to open phpMyAdmin, I get "Welcome to phpMyAdmin" -
Awesome! Oh waitaminnit...

--Error: #2002 The server is not responding (or the local MySQL
server's socket is not correctly configured)

...So I'm thinking phpMyAdmin changes the listening port when it
installs (security maybe?). However even though now that I can get to
my server homepage, phpMyAdmin still seems broken. And why the
conflict of Mowes reporting MySQL running while the server homepage
reports it as /not/ running? Ugh, this is just leading to more and
more questions. Guess it's time to back up Simona's iars and reinstall
from scratch. That's all I can figure at this point, though honestly I
have no faith as I've done this half a dozen times already (where's
the banging-head-against-the-wall emoticon when you need it?)...
