Gotta double check our syntax here: mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); (semi-colons look very much like colons sometimes) and for a laugh, I was searching around for an answer here and came across this: http://www.phphelp.com/ then click on their forums link in top left box. (Its a php help board that needs help with their php.)

Yes, MySqlCC works too. This is the program that helped me fix my MySQL problem. For me, it found a problem in several of the tables and by clicking the quick fix button on each, I was able to salvage my database. What is this line 4 of sql.php ? Do other php scripts run ? And also lets double check which modules you have installed for php and apache.

The desktop link is a "Desktop Config File" and not a .mp3 file and should not have any apps being opened by clicking on it. This link should be blank in the Application Preference Order box and open up konq. Sounds like something is screwed with your KDE settings. It seems when one thing goes wrong with KDE it is like a chain reaction thing starting. Might want to think about deleting the .kde folder in /home/user and starting from scratch to rebuild all your user prefs.

Seeing how I just spent the last week reading up on MySQL issues :wink: let me make an attempt at this: I would first doublecheck your $dbname, $dbpass or $dbuname are correct in your config file and check that you can first connect to your MySQL database. Webmin or phpmyadmin are two programs I have been using to check my databases.

Welcome aboard Gayle, Where is this setting for your large cursor? I am unfamiliar with this. Without knowing where it is, I am thinking you need to save it in a profile someplace.

Seems we got it all back now. Most likely the root of this was when I attempted to backup my database. It did seem to end premature and probally corrupted a few of the tables in the process which was causing all the havoc. I found a little program called MySQLcc that was able to fix these tables. I reinstalled a new copy of the nuke site and copied the fixed db files over. Guess I need to back up my backups :wink: thanks, Gerynar, static, and phunni

Sounds like it is time for plan 3: Scoopy's radical way of solving a hose job. I would put the bios back to modem use IRQ3 and reopen those serial ports. Then delete all those ttyS0 to ttyS3 files we have been messing with. The system should replace those it needs. Then hope that the restart will pick up the modem on the proper tty file and that the control center will do its job properly. I looked up the modem and this should have been easier than the stuff I went through with my winmodem I had.

I don't really know why, but should be a snap to fix up a little more to your liking. If you right click on an file, and choose edit file type. You can change filename patterns (such as .MP3 or .mp3) for the association and you can rearange things in the Application Preference Order box by clicking on one of the apps that show. The one listed on top will open such a file with a regular double click.

oops, I may have forgotten a file you will want to add here: su urpmi mplayer-gui This should add the eye candy and stuff.
-
Dam... thought I had it all running smoothly again. Checked my brand new site and brand new database and it was running. Left for a couple hours (without doing a thing) and came back to find the same problems with the new stuff. MySQL loses its connection to the database. Webmin give's me this message: DBI connect failed : Access denied for user: So you think it may be a "localhost" issue?

try: K -> Multimedia -> MPlayer if not, open up that terminal again and type in mplayer
-
Here's a quick urpmi (Mandrake's easy way to install rpm files) lesson that should work: 1) Open up a terminal or konsole 2) type su <enter> then your password <enter> then urpmi mplayer <enter> example: [scoopy@localhost scoopy]$ su Password: [root@localhost scoopy]# urpmi mplayer Since mplayer is included (with all dependacies) on your install cd's and these are already configured as software sources during your initial install --- this should have mplayer installed without a hitch. After this, I would read up more on urpmi and configuring software sources

sorry bout the previous confusion "The Modem Does Not Respond" sounds a lot better than "not found." Hang in there, and follow previous two suggestions. I think your close.

thanks, all this was supposed to work, but it didn't, so yesterday I wiped all mysql stuff, including hidden history files for root and scoopy. Reinstalled mysql and now have it all working again except my restored database. I am open on suggestions on the best way to import stuff from my old database into a new one. I have copies of old db (the backup file thing disquised a C source file, or the MYD/MYI/frm files). We are using database in a php nuke site. thanks again,

I just noticed this thing takes up almost 5 megs. I would guess you can do this: rpm -e --nodeps fortune-mod which would remove just the fortune-mod program. But then, it could break something in one of those other programs. Is so, you should be able to reinstall fortune-mod. The way I have done something similiar is to go ahead and let it remove all those, and then just reinstall the ones you want. If fortune-mod is definiately needed by something else, it will insist it as a dependacy then. The one I would worry about here is the gnome-control-center... but why is this tied to fortune ? Oh, and if you open a terminal or konsole and type "fortune" you will see what it does. (not too exciting, but interesting)

If it helps to sooth this fustration, I just checked my "unknowns" and found my USB harddrive was listed there and I have been using this for months with no troubles. I am guessing then that your modem just isn't hooked up to the right port yet and not communicating with your OS. Maybe it wants com 1 or 2 then... Nothing hooked up to them (they are unused by anything in Linux, right? I would wait on a second opinion on this idea first before making anything worse. I suggested drakxtools-9.1-31.2mdk.i586.rpm because it contains drakconnect for modems. added: I see BVC seconded this as I was responding (thanks BVC :) )
-
My random thoughts here: First we should do as tyme suggested a few pages back and make a symlink for the modem... it won't hurt nothing: This way anything looking for "modem" will find it. Second, How do we know this modem is ttyS2, and not ttyS0 or something else? I don't buy the windows uses com3 thing, cause maybe that has been set up wrong, so then linux (trying to set up correctly) will be using something else then. (been there, done that) Third, Have we checked Mandrake Control Center recently to see it a modem has appeared there since the last clean install? And last, maybe installing a few of the updates might help. Don't know what exactly they fixed, but they fix some problems... especially this one: drakxtools-9.1-31.2mdk.i586.rpm

Uh, guilty as charged. That link was the perfect answer too. *bows head and tries sneaking out of room*
-
No, its not like that... If I wanted to be mean and nasty, I would of pointed you to man gimp instead, but my link has pictures and all. Man pages are written in a language I don't understand (geek). Anyway, you can get me back in my MySQL thread. I would love to find and easy to read intro for MySQL with pictures (MySQL for dummies?). (I am trying to work with their docs on their website, but I am not getting anywhere)

Try this, http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/

You should be able to log in as root or any user. There should be a way to change this in Mandrake Control Center's boot options by unselecting auto login maybe.

Thanks, but no matter what I type in for this GRANT command, I can't get it right. (***= what I type as password) mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILAGES ON *.* TO root@localhost -> IDENTIFIED BY '***' WITH GRANT OPTION; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'PRIVILAGES ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '***' WITH mysql> NOTE: I am using MySQL-4.0.11a-5mdk.i586.rpm from 9.1 download discs. ALSO: This is going on day 3 of googling and searching for an answer and I am ready to screem. Good news is I think I have found where MySQL hid my backup database (/ with same name as db and disguised as a C source file) but I can't use any db's until I get access to them once again.

RPM via MDK's install software (gurpmi) and it's was only a version 1.3 to 1.3.1 upgrade. And FYI, all I could find was a shell script for mozilla in /usr/bin, no other executables in any place. The mozilla 1.3 folders was cleaned out ---exept for a symlink for plugins to the new 1.3.1 folder.
-
My system is pretty much default and I really have no clue here. Wish I could produce lists like this, but anyway: I have a USB-uhci controller which initalizes during bootup. I see this line is commented out. Maybe this is the one ???
-
nitpick :lol: Your right, tho, so mod me :wink: I wasn't thinking he probally now has two working mozilla versions in there and should use the full path to eliminate any condusion. I had just upgraded mine and mozilla goes right to the new install.
