yet another cmd.php problem

[Hexis]

I can add users and other items in the web interface. But when I run cmp.php I get this:


noc:~$ php www/cacti/cmd.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.1
Content-type: text/html

<br>
<b>Warning</b>: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in <b>/data/webdata/htdocs/baxtermj/cacti/include/database.php</b> on line <b>19</b><br>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
in <b>/data/webdata/htdocs/baxtermj/cacti/include/database.php</b> on line <b>19</b><br>

Cannot connect to MySQL server on localhost

Anyone know what's going on?

It appears that cacti is having trouble connecting to your MySQL server. First, make sure the $database_hostname variable is correct in the 'include/config.php' file.

If it is 'localhost', make sure your MySQL server is running correctly.

ps ax | grep mysqld

Should tell you if it is running or not.

Would the web interface work if it couldn't connect to the sql server?

But I did double check and everything is running. I can use the mysql console to use the cacti data base and it all look ok (to me) in there.

what do you have on your 19th line in cmd.php or more likely in www/cacti/include/config.php. if its in the config scripts it's likely to be in the one you have edited ...

I'm not sure, but i guess i had the same thing in my cron output. And my faults have been klumsy editing (of the config.php -- missing ';') and some very _very_ poor skils and knowledge of mysql.

In my include/config.php these are the only lines I edited:

$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cacti";
$database_password = "blah";

I didn't touch the cmd.php file at all, tho nothing looks outta place there to me.
