I am on FreeBSD 10.2 32 bit and installed the newest version of mysql with the following command:
pkg install mysql57-server-5.7.12
Now, when I try to start mysql:
service mysql-server start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: WARNING: failed precmd routine for mysql
I am getting this error. I hope you can help me.
Check your /var/db/mysql folder, if it contains files, make a backup and delete dir content:
rm -rf /var/db/mysql/*
Then do a data directory initialization:
/usr/local/libexec/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
You should get a new temporary password, write it down, then start mysql-server
service mysql-server start
After mysql starts, secure the installation via:
/usr/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Open /etc/rc.conf and append or modify this line :
mysql_enable="YES"
Save the file, close it and retry to start the server.
I have just installed Debian Lenny with Apache, MySQL, and PHP and I am receiving a PDOException could not find driver.
This is the specific line of code it is referring to:
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=' . DB_HOST . ';dbname=' . DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASS)
DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASS are constants that I have defined. It works fine on the production server (and on my previous Ubuntu Server setup).
Is this something to do with my PHP installation?
Searching the internet has not helped, all I get is experts-exchange and examples, but no solutions.
You need to have a module called pdo_mysql. Looking for following in phpinfo(),
pdo_mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version => 5.1.44
The dsn in your code reveals you are trying to connect with the mysql driver. Your error message indicates that this driver is unavailable.
Check that you have the mysql extension installed on your server.
In Ubuntu/Debian you check for the package with:
dpkg --get-selections | grep php | grep mysql
Install the php5-mysql package if you do not have it.
In Ubuntu/Debian you can use:
PHP5: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
PHP7: sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
Lastly, to get it working, you will need to restart your web-server:
Apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Nginx: sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
Update: newer versions should use php-sqlite3 package instead of php5-sqlite. So use this, if you are using a recent ubuntu version:
sudo apt-get install sqlite php-sqlite3
Original answer to question is here:
sudo apt-get install sqlite php5-sqlite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If your phpinfo() is not showing the pdo_sqlite line (in my case, on my Ubuntu Server), you just need to run the lines above and then you'll be good to go.
For newer versions of Ubuntu that have PHP 7.0 you can get the php-mysql package:
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
Then restart your server:
sudo service apache2 restart
I had the same issue. The solution depends on OS. In my case, i have debian, so to solve it:
Updated my php version from (php5 to php7)
Install php-mysql and php7.0-mysql
apt-get install php-mysql
apt-get install php7.0-mysql
I edited my php.ini locate at /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
uncomment the line : extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
Then restart apache:
service apache2 restart
This solves my problem
On my Windows machine, I had to give the absolute path to the extension dir in my php.ini:
extension_dir = "c:\php5\ext"
Check if the module is available with php -m | grep pdo_mysql.
If not, for PHP 7.2, you can install relevant package with sudo apt install php7.2-mysql.
Use similar command on other PHP versions and package managers.
On Ubuntu just execute
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
worked well on ubuntu and php 7
When adding these into your php.ini ensure the php_pdo.dll reference is first before the db drivers dlls otherwise this will also cause this error message too. Add them like this:
[PHP_PDO]
extension=php_pdo.dll
[PHP_PDO_MYSQL]
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
for Windows 8.1/10 in :\\php.ini file you should uncomment line "extension=pdo_mysql"
Did you check your php.ini (check for the correct location with phpinfo()) if MySQL and the driver is installed correctly?
For PHP 5.5 on CentOS I fixed this by installing the php55-mysqlnd package.
sudo yum -y install php55w-mysqlnd # For Webtatic
sudo yum -y install php55u-mysqlnd # For Remi
For help installing, write a comment as it depends on the way PHP is installed on your system. Available repo's are webtatic and remi.
Check if extension_dir in php configuration file set correctly. Try to comment/uncomment some extensions and see if it's reflected on phpinfo().
If it doesn't then either php config file cannot be loaded (wrong location) extension_dir is commented or set to the wrong location.
In my case my DSN string was incorrect, specifically it did not contain mysql://. I would have expected a different error message, perhaps something like 'DSN string does not specify driver/protocol.'
Adding mysql:// to the beginning of the DSN string resolved the issue.
I had the same problem during running tests with separate php.ini. I had to add these lines to my own php.ini file:
[PHP]
extension = mysqlnd.so
extension = pdo.so
extension = pdo_mysql.so
Notice: Exactly in this order
I spent the last day trying to figure out why I was getting the following error. I am running Ubuntu 14.04.
The Problem:
I noticed that my PHP-CLI version was running php7.0 but php_info() (the web version) was displaying php 5.5.9. Even though php_info() said pdo was enabled, using the command line (CLI) wasn't recognizing the pdo_mysql command. It turns out that mysql was enabled for my old version but not the CLI version. All I did was install mysql for php7.0 and it was able to work.
This is what worked:
To check the version:
php -v
To install mysql for php7.0
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
1) make sure your CLI version is the same as your web version
2) If they are different, make sure your CLI version has the mysql plug-in since it doesn't come with it as a default.
Incorrect installation of PHP was being called
I was experiencing the same problem. And I hope this would help someone who is having a similar issue as me.
Scenario
OS = Windows 10
Platform = XAMPP
PHP Version = 7 (Multiple Version seem to have been installed in the PC)
I created phpinfo.php file in the public folder and run the phpinfo() to look for the location of my php.ini file.
PHP.ini Location = c:\xampp\php\php.ini
Problem
Calling c:\xampp\htdocs> php -v returned PHP 7.2.3 but phpinfo.php showed PHP 7.2.2.
Solution
Instead of calling
php artisan migrate:install
which gave me this error, I used
c:\xampp\php\php artisan migrate:install
and it worked.
The problem is a missing php to mysql library. In CentOs i fixed it by running
# yum install php-mysql and then restarting apache with # /bin/systemctl restart httpd.service Note that the naming is slightly different from debian/ubuntu based distros, php->php5 and httpd->apache2.
I extremely recommend mysqllnd instead of mysql because of you would have a lot of problems like number converting and bit type evaluates problem with mysql extension.
on ubuntu install mysqllnd with following command:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd
In my case, I was using PDO with php-cli, and it worked fine.
Only when I tried to connect from apache, I got the "missing driver" issue, which I didn't quite understand.
A simple apt-get install php-mysql solved it. (Ubuntu 16.04 / PHP7. credits go to the selected answer & Ivan's comment)
Hope it can help.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver
I struggled and struggled with "apt install php-mysql php7toInfinity and don't forget sqlite-what-ever's" and just could not get rid of this error message until I went back to basics and reset the file-permissions on the web-site in question.
These 3 commands reset file and folder permissions on the web-site and got it to work again.
cd /var/www/web-site-name.com/web/
# find (sub) directories and change permissions
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
# find files and change permissions
find . -type f -exec chmod 664 '{}' \;
I Fixed this issue on my Debian 6.
Normally I just had installed php5-common package. After installation, you have to restart your web server (apache or nginx depending on which one you installed).
Then I just do an lsof on the apache process id (lsof -p process_id) as followed :
sudo lsof -p 1399 #replace 1399 by your apache process id
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 80352 227236 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/xmlrpc.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 166496 227235 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/suhosin.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 31120 227233 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo_mysql.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 100776 227216 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 135864 227232 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/mysqli.so
As you can see above, the modules are installed on a file path not known or guided by common library path: /usr/lib/php5/20090626/. For your installation, it may be different, but only the path of pdo_mysql.so, pdo.so, mysqli.so. So, this is why Drupal or any other php engine couldn't find the library and shows that error: PDOException: could not find driver
I just don't know why it is installed on such a weird path, for me it's just a bug in the library package installation script in debian 6.
I solved the issue by creating a symbolic for all the files under /usr/lib/php5/20090626/ to
/usr/lib/php5/ with this command :
ln -s /usr/lib/php5/20090626/* /usr/lib/php5/
$DB_TYPE = 'mysql'; //Type of database<br>
$DB_HOST = 'localhost'; //Host name<br>
$DB_USER = 'root'; //Host Username<br>
$DB_PASS = ''; //Host Password<br>
$DB_NAME = 'database_name'; //Database name<br><br>
$dbh = new PDO("$DB_TYPE:host=$DB_HOST; dbname=$DB_NAME;", $DB_USER, $DB_PASS); // PDO Connection
This worked for me.
I faced the same issue after I removed the php5 package (that includes all the drivers as well) in order to install php7 package. I actually installed php7 package without a mysql module.
I managed to solve it by typing in the terminal:
1) $ apt-cache search php7
which lists all the modules, looking through the modules I found,
php7.0-mysql - MySQL module for PHP
2) $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
That's it. It worked for me in my linux system.
(use the appropriate php version, yours could be php5)
Just one other thing to confirm as some people are copy/pasting example code from the Internet to get started. Make sure you have MySQL entered here:
... $dbh = new PDO ("mysql: ...
In some examples this shows
$dbh = new PDO ("dblib ...
For those using Symfony2/3 and wondering why you're getting this error. If you're using "mapping_types", you might encounter this error. The reason is that "mapping_types" is placed at the wrong level. For instance :
doctrine:
dbal:
mapping_types:
set: string
This "mapping_types" must be placed at this level :
doctrine:
dbal:
#To counter the error caused by 'mapping_types'
connections:
default:
server_version: %database_server_version%
mapping_types:
set: string
I hope this helps
I found the solution here : https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/issues/327
Everywhere I go I read that the path of extension_dir should be changed from ext to an absolute path. It worked for me. However, when trying to build a server of my colleague's PC, I had to let the value to ext instead of putting an absolute path.
If you did put an absolute path and it does the extension is still not found, considerer trying both with the absolute path and ext.
Check correct path in extension_dir in you phpinfo().
Had the same issue, because I forgot to go into my virtual machine. If I go to my local directory like this:
cd /www/homestead/my_project
php artisan migrate
that error will appear. But it works on my virtual machine
cd ~/homestead
vagrant ssh
cd /www/homestead/my_project
php artisan migrate
i am trying to setup mysql-proxy on ubuntu on amazon ec2
i have done following:
sudo apt-get install mysql-proxy --yes
vi /etc/default/mysql-proxy
i put following content on "/etc/default/mysql-proxy"
ENABLED="true"
OPTIONS="--proxy-lua-script=/usr/share/mysql-proxy/rw-splitting.lua
--proxy-address=127.0.0.1:3306
--proxy-backend-addresses=private_ip_of_another_ec2_db_server:3306,private_ip_of_another_ec2_db_server:3306"
also tied with "--proxy-address=private_ip_or_public_ip_of_proxy-server:3306 or 4040"
and "--proxy-backend-addresses=public_ip_of_another_ec2_db_server:3306,public_ip_of_another_ec2_db_server:3306"
after that i tried to connect proxy server from another pc using mysql like:
mysql -u some_user -pxxxxx -h proxy_server_ip
or
mysql -u some_user -pxxxxx -h proxy_server_ip -P 4040
but its not working
its showing error:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'ip' (10061)
i want to tell you can connect the db server remotely where i allowed remote connection to any host
i also tried /etc/init.d/mysql-proxy start or /etc/init.d/mysql-proxy restart but no result
just to inform you that /etc/init.d/mysql-proxy stop is showing failed
can anyone please help me to setup and configure mysql-proxy on ubuntu
===
Edit
i found some help from other question of stackoverflow and also according to a suggestion in the comments, have done following procedure. and it seems its working now.
i installed mysql-client and mysql-server locally(on proxy server)
then i tried to run mysql-proxy using following command:
mysql-proxy --proxy-backend-addresses=10.73.151.244:3306 --proxy-backend-addresses=10.73.198.7:3306 --proxy-address=:4040 --admin-username=root --admin-password=root --admin-lua-script=>/usr/lib/mysql-proxy/lua/admin.lua
then i tried to connect remotely to the proxy server and its working.
but it seems i need to run this command under screen because when i close the terminal proxy stops working.
Can you please tell me that do i need to run this command under screen or is there any other way to make it alive all time?
There is no need to install Mysql client or Mysql Server on your mysql-proxy.
Installing mysql-proxy does have "full daemon capabilities" compiled into it.
If your are running Ubuntu Server, you may wish to use an UPSTART service script.
This script can be copied into /etc/init/mysql-proxy.conf
# mysql-proxy.conf (Ubuntu 14.04.1) Upstart proxy configuration file for AWS RDS
# mysql-proxy - mysql-proxy job file
description "mysql-proxy upstart script"
author "shadowbq <shadowbq#gmail.com>"
# Stanzas
#
# Stanzas control when and how a process is started and stopped
# See a list of stanzas here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#respawn
# When to start the service
start on runlevel [2345]
# When to stop the service
stop on runlevel [016]
# Automatically restart process if crashed
respawn
# Essentially lets upstart know the process will detach itself to the background
expect daemon
# Run before process
pre-start script
[ -d /var/run/mysql-proxy ] || mkdir -p /var/run/mysql-proxy
echo "starting mysql-proxy"
end script
# Start the process
exec /usr/bin/mysql-proxy --plugins=proxy --proxy-lua-script=/usr/share/mysql-proxy/rw-splitting.lua --log-level=debug --proxy-backend-addresses=private_ip_of_another_ec2_db_server:3306,private_ip_of_another_ec2_db_server:3306 --daemon --log-use-syslog --pid-file=/var/run/mysql-proxy/mysql-proxy.pid
In the above example I hard coded the AWS RDS server into script, instead of fiddling with defaults and config file

I need a generic way to install MySQL 5.5 in almost any Linux OS from non-root User. Hence I thought to install MySQL from its source and install it where ever I need.
Is it really possible to install MySQL in non-root user home?
Anybody have any idea for this? Please do share your expertise for the same.
Major constraint here is that, I need to install MySQL 5.5 from any non-root User in a Generic way And possibly for almost any Linux OS.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.
CONCLUSION
I've tried with Ubuntu-11.10, finally I was able to install MySQL-5.5 from non-root user with the constraint that MySQL is not accessible from console/command prompt. As mysqld is up and running fine hence MySQL was easily accessible via any GUI tool which connects to MySQL via JDBC connectors. If you try to access mysql from command prompt using
mysql -u root -p
command it was giving segmentation fault problem. One more thing I tried for Fedora Linux also from Non-Root user, in that mysqld was failing and can't access mysql anyway :( .
You should customize this three variables:
MYSQL_DATADIR
SYSCONFDIR
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
Example:
$ cd <mysql_src_dir>
$ cmake -i .
Would you like to see advanced options? [No]:Yes
Please wait while cmake processes CMakeLists.txt files....
...
Variable Name: CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
Description: install prefix
Current Value: /usr/local/mysql
New Value (Enter to keep current value): /home/user/mysql
...
Variable Name: MYSQL_DATADIR
Description: default MySQL data directory
Current Value: /usr/local/mysql/data
New Value (Enter to keep current value): /home/user/mysql/data
...
Variable Name: SYSCONFDIR
Description: config directory (for my.cnf)
Current Value: /usr/local/mysql/etc
New Value (Enter to keep current value): /home/user/mysql/etc
$ make
$ make install
Instead of cmake -i . you can use cmake -D MYSQL_DATADIR=/home/user/mysql/data -D SYSCONFDIR=/home/user/mysql/etc -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/mysql .
I imagine this should be possible but not necessarily easy to do. You would need to build from source and change the Makefile so that the install target points to the user's local directory; additionally, I would think that you'd need to mess around with other default configuration options in MySQL, which can also be changed from configuration files. In the end, you should be able to launch mysqld as long as you don't bind to any port below 1000 (which is the case anyway since MySQL runs by default on port 3306).
