remote database not connecting

Post by tim.mcintire »

Hi,

I am trying to install my first instance of this and am having some issues. I am using phpmyfaq 2.8.24, redhat 66, mysql 5.1.73, php 5.3.3.

I have verified that my myfaq server can connect to the database with the user/password that I am going to use. the problem is that when I fill in the data on the setup page and click the setup button.. no attempt to connect to the mysql db on the remote server. I am looking at tcpdump and I dont see any connections being attempted.

Any suggestions?

Thanks..

Tim

Hi,

maybe a firewall issue?

dont think so. they are on the same subnet and I have disabled iptables on both. also.. I can connect just fine from a mysql client on the server that I am trying to install phpmyfaq on. seems like a php config issue, but I dont know where.
