Installation on existing box with Sendmail/MySQL/Apache

[phoenix]

I'd be surprised if it was anything to do with MySQL. Were they calling/using sendmail? Can you not define a new mail server that they should use? When you say they no longer work, what exactly do you mean?

[koi-bito]

Neither of them can connect to MySQL anymore...both packages give error pages indicating this.

Simple test, shut down zimbra by doing this:

su - zimbra
zmcontrol stop

If you're still unable to connect to MySQL then it's not zimbra. I don't know enough about your applications to say why they can't connect to MySQL.

hi Bill,

Did that and still can't connect. Everything was fine until I installed Zimbra. Does the Zimbra install edit any files that MySQL would be looking to read from?

[phoenix]

No, Zimbra doesn't touch any of the MySQL files. I also have an instance of MySQL running on my server with APache on port 8080 and I don't have any problems.

Which application is causing the problem and what's the exact message? Are you certain that the original MySQL is actually running?

[koi-bito]

I figured out the problem. Seems that the install wiped out /tmp/mysql.sock which was a symlink back to the actual location. Thanks for your help!

[phoenix]

Bummer! It's all working OK now?

[koi-bito]

Yep...sure is. Thanks for helping me get into "thinking mode". Now if I can get antivirus to work everything will be golden!

[phoenix]

Shouldn't be much to do with A/V, it's pretty automatic with Zimbra. You may need to tweak the kill/tag percentages but in general that's about all.

[koi-bito]

Thanks...it's showing a red X now, so I assume that it's not running. Would there be any conflict with the previous install possibly? Can you give me a few pointers on how to "tweak"?
