[dvlug] Need for Technical Assistance - Errorproblem? connecting MYSQL to HTTP

[harry strout]

Hi Rick.

Thank you for your efforts.
I tried local host and that did not work.

Personally, I think that it's the error from SELinux that is killing
me.

How do I solve that one?

In terms of telling the truth, we all tell the truth, I hope.
However, verifying the truth holds more weight than speaking the
truth.

Is there of any way of you, or someone else, logging into my machine
remotely so as to see, in detail, what the problem is? 

Thanks again.

Hi, Harry.  I doubt anyone was even thinking you were in any way
untruthful.  The concern is that people reporting technical problems
often, with utterly and completely honest intent, omit crucial facts
and
inadvertently give their interpretations rather than the relevant raw
data.

(You didn't really think your honesty was being questioned?  That
would
be most unfortunate.)

In attempting to help people diagnose problems, I found that sometimes
the phrase "Pretend I'm from Missouri and show me" light-heartedly
gets
the vital point across that _showing_ the problem rather than
describing
it is a necessary first step.  (For example, a diagnostician hearing
the
phrase "[x] didn't work" will be frustrated, thinking "But what does
'didn't work' mean?  What specifically did you try?  What specifically
happened?  What specifically did you expect to happen that didn't?")

Um, wow.  That's a lot of stuff.  Anyhow....

Quoting one of your selinux-alert files:

> SELinux is preventing the http daemon from connecting to network
port 3306
> 
> Detailed Description:
> 
> SELinux has denied the http daemon from connecting to 3306. An httpd
> script is trying to do a network connect to a remote port

So, that's one problem, right there:  CentOS's "targeted policy" for
SELinux is preventing Apache httpd from connecting to TCP port 3306
(but
see note below about target host), 3306 being the MySQL daemon's
communication port.

The error message goes on to suggest a way to modify the policy to
allow
port 3306 access, I notice.

Except, important:  I notice that you seem to be trying to open a
connection to "compconsupp.com".  Not a good choice.  You should be
trying to connect to localhost.  That might actually be your sole
problem.

Looks like you had the same problem with Adminer:  You were trying to
connect to "compconsupp.com".  Try localhost.  Please let us know if
that works.  I'll bet it will.

I don't know what this sentence means.  (I can think of a half-dozen
things you _could_ be trying to say.)

Your Amember.setup.log.1-3-10 file shows that MySQL itself is just
fine,
so that's another question answered.
