Install fog, load up webpage, "Unable to connect to Database"

[Toast]

I install Fog and get this sad message. I know the issue is mysql not starting, attached is the log from /var/log/mysql/errror.log

Below is some more wonderful output.

toast@bento-13:~/opt/fog_0.33b/bin$ sudo mysql -u root -h bento-13 fog
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘bento-13’ (111)

Currently running 13.10 in a VM, hopefully that doesn’t matter. I get the same connection error when using my regular system as well.

If bento-13 is what you’re logged on as AND this is your fog server, you shouldn’t be trying to load from the hostname.

Try logging into mysql with:
[code]mysql -u root fog[/code]

If you set a password, you’ll likely need:
[code]mysql -u root -p fog[/code]

Nope still getting the same error of “Unable to connect to Database”
I know mysql works because the “It works!” default page loads up just fine.

Gonna try Debian 7.4 and 12.04 next, I hear great things about them and eventually, 14.04. Good thing these are on VMs. Consider this solved for now, not interested in wasting time for problems for a distro that isn’t the LTS.

Toast,

mysql appears to NOT be working in your situation.

How do you know mysql works? The “It works!” page is not a mysql issue, that’s telling you apache is working fine. The “Unable to connect to Database” shows you that the DATABASE is actually the issue.

Did you try the commands I gave you and it’s not working?
