I need OS X Server help

[lisbakke]

I have OS X server and I'm trying to get Gallery to work on it http://gallery.menalto.com/. To do this, I need to have a database setup for gallery to use.

I can't seem to get the MySQL configured on Server so that Gallery can use it. All I can find to setup/install MySQL is the MySQL Manager, which only has two buttons - install and start/stop.

I can't get phpmyadmin to connect to it because it won't seem to validate the right username/password. I don't even know how to configure the MySQL password, I just figured it was my admin password.

Can anyone help?


Thanks in advance.

I'm not using OS X Server, but I configured MySQL on Panther for development purposes.

For me, at least, the MySQL username/password is not the same as your OS X username/password, and you can set the MySQL password from the command-line using mysqladmin.

Check the MySQL reference manual:

See MySQL Client and Utility Programs

No I just posted it cause I thought it might work. ;)

I was using it for more than 3 months and hosting my own website on my mini with no problems whatsoever. It even gives you a little gui to start/stop the servers and stuff, but having a working knowledge of Apache and MySQL always helps...

Also, i wouldn't recommend installing more than one copy of MySQL, so if you are going to use xampp, uninstall your first copy.

OK, thanks. I might give it a try on my testing server to see if it really will fix the issues.
