Installed MySQL, but can't connect to database...?

I run a wiki website, but sometimes want to be able to play with ideas and prep pages when I don't have connectivity or when the connection is bad. I've tried installing MediaWiki right on my MacBook, but while I've ensured that PHP and MySQL are set up, I can't figure out what address to put in the Database Host field, having tried localhost, my computer's address shown in the sharing control panel, usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql/data, and so on and so forth. Everything I do comes back with an error that it can't connect to the database server, even though the MySQL preference pane says that it's installed and running.
Does anyone know what to put in the field?

Hi,
From Terminal, have you verified that you can access MySQL from its own command-line interface? This would confirm that at least MySQL is installed and running correctly. Also, in order to have PHP apps running correctly, you have to turn on Web Sharing in the Sharing section of System Preferences. When you turn on Web Sharing, the URL of your personal website is shown on the preference panel. You should be able to navigate to that site, and if you haven't started any development yet, you should get a default Apache page.
Hope this helps,
Ken

  • Oracle Enterprise Manager can't connect to database after installation

    Hello, I have a problem with Enterprise Manager. I installed Oracle 10g and the patch 10.2.0.2. After install, I could connect to database from SqlPlus without problems, but when I try to connect from AllPrograms - Oracle - DatabaseControl or since the Web browser with http://servername:1158/em nothing happen. I reviewed the status of dbconsole with emctl status dbconsole but the status is running. I recreated the repository with emca -deconfig.......-repos drop and emca -config ...... -repos create , but nothing happened. I reviewed some threads in this forum, but I didn't find the solution. Finally I could connect from the browser but with http://localhost:1158/em. Do you help me how can I connect from Database Control, because the operators in Computer Center should monitor the instance since there, and when I want to connect since my own PC how can do it?
    Thanks for your help and excuse my English, I am from Bogotá Colombia.
    Sincerely Rubén

    Hi,
    Check the network connectivity between db server and pc from where u want to access em.
    Check the listener service.
    Check firewall settings, it should be off.

  • ODT v11 Beta Installation Problem - Can't connect to Database

    Hi, I'm having difficulties setting up the ODT 11.1.0.5.10 beta. I'm fairly new to Oracle so I apologise if I've missed something obvious!
    First of all I tried installing ODT 10.2.0.2.21 and that worked fine (after I copies tnsnames into the appropriate folder).
    However, after installing v11 I can't connect to any of our databases anymore, either through VS2005 of PL/SQL developer, which we normally use. When I try to set up a data connection (in VS Server Explorer) using ODP.Net, I get 'ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified'.
    If I try to make a connection using the .Net Framework data Provider for Oracle, I get 'ORA-12541: TNS: no listener'.
    Testing the connection using Oracle Net Manager, however, succeeds without a problem.
    i put the tnsnames file in there, so that's not the problem. I'm not sure if the installation worked properly, as there are a lot less files & folders in the new Home added for the beta than in the one added for v10.2
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Grant

    Yeah, you could be onto something with the path, thanks - it seems like the installer for the v11 Beta misses \bin off the end of the new Oracle home path, which causes problems. Since fixing that, I can now connect with PL/SQL developer.
    however, I am still facing one problem which my colleague also seems to have. We have an 8.1 client installed, and when we try to set up a connection with VS2005, it uses the tnsnames from the 8.1 client.
    There is also a strange issue whereby if you go into the advanced settings, the database name is only set to the first couple of characters of the actual name, which is probably why it isn't working. However, if I set the correct name in the advanced settings, when you come out of that dialogue into the standard connection dialogue, the database has reverted back to the first one in the list, putting me in a most annoying vicious circle..
    Even this problem has now taken a back seat as I am now unable to load the connection screen at all' getting a 'Package Load failure' message (it seems to think the package is using a GUID which isn't on the system). This remains even if i reinstall the v11 Beta. I'm not sure how I got into this situation, but it seems that there is some DLL registered in VS2005 which is now incorrect and doesn't get reset on uninstall/installation.
    If anyone has any thoughts on my myriad problems please share them with me!
    Thanks,
    Grant

  • ITunes (and Airfoil) can see Airport Express but can't connect in Windows XP (error -15000) - firewall problems?

    I am using Windows XP Professional 2002 w/ SP3 on a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop wirelessly connecting to my Airport Express 802.11n (firmware 7.5.2).
    I can see my Airport Express in iTunes 10.4.1 and can select it via the Airplay button. iTunes even detects whether or not a speaker is connected to the Airport Express. But when iTunes tries to connect, it comes back after a while saying "An error occurred while connecting to the Airplay device xxx. An unknown error occurred (error -15000)."
    A similar problem happens with Airfoil from Rogue Amoeba that I use to stream music from other apps such as VideoLAN to Airport Express on the same laptop. I can see that my Airport Express is available but when Airfoil tries to connect, it comes back saying "It appears that a firewall on this computer is preventing Airfoil from connecting to xxx Airport Express. Please check your firewall settings and try again."
    I've set both Airplay and iTunes as exception programs in my Windows Firewall setting, and even added TCP ports 5000 to 5005 and UDP ports 6000 to 6005 to the exceptions as recommended by Airfoil. I've also disabled Symantec Endpoint Protection that Ihave installed. The only thing I can't disable is McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since I also use the laptop at work and I don't have permission to disableMcAfee.  I use this laptop to connect wirelessly with other devices such as HP wireless printers, NAS drives and other laptops on my home network and have never had any issues, so i think that this issue is specific to the Airplay software being blocked by some firewall (I am assuming Airfoil also uses Airplay).
    I've tried this on different wireless networks and I have the same issue with Windows XP on my Dell Latitude E4300. I've also set up the network with no security, but the problem doesn't go away.
    I also tried downgrading iTunes to 10.3.1 but won't work. I think it's an Airplay issue, not a specific iTunes issue, since I'm facing the problem with Airfoil as well.
    How do I trace what is going on that is preventing iTunes and Airfoil from streaming to the AirportExpress within Windows XP?
    I also have another Dell Inspiron laptop on the same network running on Windows Vista, and have no problems streaming music from iTunes or Airfoil to the Airport Express on the same network, even when the network is WPA-2 Personal (TKIP+AES) protected (I've seen other postings where WPA has been an issue, WEP has not, but in my case, this is not an issue). Ditto with my iPad2.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have the same problem with Windows 7 64bit. ITune can see AE and stream Music well. Airfoil, TuneBlade (airplay soft) can also see AE but can't connect and stream music. I ' ve already tried to setup firewall Exception list, even turning off firewall off both windows and antivirus but still got the same problem with the message 'Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker " ... 's Airport Express". Please check the firewall on the computer where " ...'s Airport Express" is running and try again'. Any help would be appreciated !.

    Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi, i get as far as the password put in the correct password but it won't accept it, any ideas?? Thanks

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

    Hello lucky3480;
    I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
    Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
    Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.

  • Computer is connected to network but can't connect to internet (Safari and Chrome), e-mail, App Store, ect.

    My Macbook is connected to Wi-fi (four bars) but can't connect to the internet or any other services that requires internet. Other devices in my house have easily connected to the internet but every time I open Chrome it says: "This webpage is not available". What do I do?

    Restart your internet modem and router and your Mac then try Safari etc.
    If that doesn't help, try this DNS server ..
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Try a browser.
    if that doesn't help, check the firewall.  System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:
    Site map of Communities and Categories
    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

  • AE is green and seen but can't connect PPPoE

    My ae light is green, the network sees it but can't connect to the net. The isp is fine if i plug the wire into the machine, it works. The settings for the airport are identical to the wired. i've downgraded from 6.2 to 6.11 but still no connection. the problem seems to be that the airport express either can't sync or won't connect to the isp. I've also tried powering off the ae and modem in different orders powering on each one in order with the computer last to no avail. i'm running 10.4.2. help pleez

    Glad to hear you got it working!
    Firmware version 6.2 has well-known problems with ISPs that require use of the PPPoE protocol, and downgrading to firmware version 6.1.1 is what solved the problem for you. Firmware version 6.2 is no longer available from Apple's web site, but many people got it previously as part of the Airport 4.2 update where it lurks as a time bomb waiting for people to finally give in to the Airport configuration utility's request to upload that update to their Airport Express.

  • I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8?

    I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8? Any ideas for a fix?

    iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
    With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
    If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected?
