Hi,
i'm trying to install mediawiki on our centralized mysql database. During wizard i choose mysql and insert all the parameters but i receive: DB connection error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'MYDBSERVER' (13) (MYDBSERVER).
Is there something i need to configure before or after wizard?
Thanks
Maybe you have SELinux enabled and it's blocking external connections from apache? See this SO question
Thanks Ciencia, you're right. Disabled SELinux but now i'm encountering another issue: DB connection error: Authentication plugin 'dialog' cannot be loaded: /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/dialog.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
That is a problem with MySQL. Obviously the dialog.so plugin cannot be loaded, because it is not present at /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/.
you're right, indeed i'm using mariadb and i really don't know if that's the issue or the compatibilty on redhat
So obviously you either want to add that plugin so that it can be found, or - if you don't use it - you should remove it from MariaDB's plugin list so that MariaDB no longer tries loading it.
i think i need it in order to let app to connect to db....where can i download it?
Up to a few hours ago, I didn't even know that MySQL/MariaDB has support for something called plugins. According to this plugin comes with the MariaDB distribution. It should then be part of the MariaDB installation process to install it, I think.
