https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24351 Bug ID: 24351 Summary: Connection to remote mysql server errors Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 - low Component: Installation and upgrade (command-line installer) Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: seemaalbal@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Hi I am installing Koha 19.11 on Debian 4.9. My SQL server is running on another instance. My my.cnf looks like this: [client] host=<remote ip> user=root password=xxxxx I have successfully installed library instance using the koha-create --create-db <libraryname> command This has installed a koha site in my apache2. However, the koha-conf.xml under /etc/koha/sites/<libraryname>/koha-conf.xml had db hostname as localhost. I have edited this to point to my sql server. However, when I do a wget localhost:8080 I still get an internal server error. DBI Connect('database=<libraryname;host=localhost;port=3306','koha_libraryname',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 No such file or directory): /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl Please let me know where and how is the database server getting the default value of localhost. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
