MySQL gem only accessable from ruby command line, not apache localhost - mysql

Heads up, ruby n00b testing the waters -
OS - OSX 10.7
test.rb in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'mysql'
con = Mysql.new('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'rubytest')
rs = con.query('select * from people')
rs.each_hash { |h| puts h['name']}
con.close
When running from the command line ruby test.rb, I get the fields within just fine. When hitting test.rb from localhost (http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.rb), I get a 500 and a nag in the error log about mysql being missing-
Apache error log:

If this is any help, running gem env | grep 'RUBY EXECUTABLE'
RUBY EXECUTABLE: /Users/robertcox/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p318/bin/ruby
Any help appreciated

Maybe you need update gem install mysql2

the name of the war file i deployed is ROOT.war using git push and it deployed successfully.i am using mysql database and phpmyadmin cartridges.
i just want to figure out why it is showing me a blank page when i try to access the url of my application.
thanks in advance.
The log you provided is not helpfull at all, because it's not full, I even can't see what exception was thrown.
This is the best article about deploying grails application on OpenShift, it will help you a lot:
Grails on Openshift
Also the troubleshoutting will be more productive if you use ftp to see what's going on on your server
Using FileZilla and SFTP on Windows with OpenShift
i have fixed the problem with the help i got from #Taras Kohut. i added the following lines to my BuildConfig.groovy file.
grails.project.war.exploded.dir = "/yourLocalPathToClonedOpenshiftFile/webapps/ROOT"
grails.war.exploded=true
the above lines will generate an exploded war file in your openshift app in the webapps folder.
next i added ROOT.war.deploy file again in the webapps directory.This is a file which instructs jboss that after the push it must take the ROOT folder and deploy it on Tomcat (which is emulated by JBoss) as if it was a war file.
after that i committed and pushed my changes and the app is deployed successfully and everything works fine.

error running apache after xampp install

I installed xampp on win7 and get this error when starting apache.
I unchecked skype and nothing changes.
How do I find what is using port 80? How do I fix this please.
I dont have another server running.
update this is the error. I click on start and get this problem

Try those methods, it should work:
quit/exit Skype (make sure it's not running) because it reserves localhost:80
disable Anti-virus (Try first to disable skype and running again, if it didn't work do this step)
Right click on xampp control panel and run as administrator
I had the same problem, I solved changing the ports.
-> Clicked button Config front of Apache.
1) Select Apache (httpd.conf)
2) searched for this line: Listen 80
3) changed for this: Listen 8081
4) saved file
-> Click Config button front of Apache.
1) Select Apache (httpd-ssl.conf)
2) searched for this line: Listen 443
3) changed for this: Listen 444
4) saved file
I can run xammp from port 8081
http://localhost:8081/
You have to give port number you gave to enter the localhost
Hope this helps you to understand what is happening.
I got the same error when xampp was installed on windows 10.
www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an
ID which matches the server name
So I opened httpd-ssl.conf file in xampp folder and changed the following line
ServerName www.example.com:443
To
ServerName localhost
And the problem was fixed.
I think killing the process which is uses that port is more easy to handle than changing the ports in config files. Here is how to do it in Windows. You can follow same procedure to Linux but different commands.
Run command prompt as Administrator. Then type below command to find out all of processes using the port.
netstat -ano
There will be plenty of processes using various ports. So to get only port we need use findstr like below (here I use port 80)
netstat -ano | findstr 80
this will gave you result like this
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 7964
Last number is the process ID of the process. so what we have to do is kill the process using PID we can use taskkill command for that.
taskkill /PID 7964 /F
Run your server again. This time it will be able to run. This can uses for Mysql server too.
www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
I was getting this error when trying to start Apache, there is no error with Apache. It's an dependency error on windows 8 - probably the same for 7. Just right click and run as Admin :)
If you're still getting an error check your Antivirus/Firewall is not blocking Xampp or port 443.
After changing main port from 80 to 8080 you have to change the config in XAMPP control panel as I show in the images:
1)
2)
3)
Then restart the service and that's it !

Mercurial+Apache on CentOS 6.4

Trying to configure apache/mercurial but running into the following error..
[Tue Aug 27 22:51:21 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] mod_wsgi (pid=32758): Target WSGI script '/var/www/vhosts/hg.xxxxx.net/cgi-bin/hgweb.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module.

replacing hgweb.wsgi with a hello world test script works as expected. All software is from CentOS repos.
Here is the traceback from error.log
[Tue Aug 27 22:57:59 2013] [error] Traceback (most recent call last):
[Tue Aug 27 22:57:59 2013] [error] File "/var/www/vhosts/hg.xxxxx.net/cgi-bin/hgweb.wsgi", line 14, in <module>

[Tue Aug 27 22:57:59 2013] [error] ImportError: No module named mercurial
The traceback is indicating that you do not have mercurial, (for python), installed on the server, you need the python bindings installed before your scripts can use it.
If you don't have admin rights then you will have to contact your administrator but otherwise you could try, on the server running:
sudo pip install mercurial
Update
There is an interesting blog post here on setting up mercurial on centos that suggests that you need to install and build the python mercurial bindings from source.

Wampserver icon not going green fully, mysql services not starting up?

I'm running an application on localhost, it's been running successfully for at least a year now, but suddenly today wampserver isn't starting up. Whenever I rightclick on the taskbar icon and "start all services", it gets orange, but never green. Yesterday there was a data loss problem because one of the mysql tables crashed and had to be repaired, if that's related to this in any way.
If I try http://localhost/phpmyadmin, I get a 403 Forbidden error, which I never got before.
I checked the apache log today and its latest entries are:

But now I don't know what to make of this. I made sure my.ini had specified port 3306, and it had (anyway noone changed it in a year how could it suddenly have another value). Any help please! I think Apache is working because when I type in http://localhost, it works and gives the option to go to phpmyadmin or my application folder, but it appears mysql services aren't starting up or something? I confirmed with the admin and no new software (such as Skype) have been installed or anything.
Update
I went to Services.msc and checked wampapache, the status was "started".
But wampmysqld had no status. So I right-clicked and chose "Start".
A message said "Windows is attempting to start the service on the local computer", but then I got this error:
Windows could not start the wampmysqld service on Local Computer
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly
What on earth is up? :(
Update 2
I got the mysql working again, here:
mysqld working but wampmysqld not starting up
HowEVER, localhost://phpmyadmin still gives me a 403 forbidden error, and mysql_connect keeps giving me an "Access denied" error.
Go to: wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data and delete the following:
auto.cnf, xxxxxxxxx.err, xxxxxxxxx.pid, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1
leave other file as it is.
if it is skype that is occupying your port 80 then go to skype: tools>option and in advance>connection uncheck "use port 80 and 443......"
This happened to me today. Since I had not changed my system setting since yesterday, I assumed it's predominantly a mysql issue on the system. I managed to fix it in the following way.
Open wampserver's mysql log file. This will contain information on why the service threw and error and exited prematurely.
In my case, the mysql service failed to start because it could not read a certain tablespace. The specific tablespace was indicated in the log.
Failure to read such a file could be because of file permissions or the file being broken. In such a case, mysql stops executing in order to avoid damaging a tablespace file that may be linked to a database you need. Usually, if you have a backup of the database, then it is safe to simply delete this problematic file and restore the database once your mysql service is started again.
If you do not have a database backup then you could force the mysql instance to run a recovery by enabling the option in your my.cnf / my.ini file.
innodb_force_recovery = 1
This forces the instance to run the crash recovery.
NOTE: installing a new instance of mysql does not necessarily mean that your databases shall be retained. I suggest you run a nightly backup of your databases if you are working on huge projects.
I had the same issue, to resolve it I added the following line to my.ini
innodb_force_recovery = 1
I was running Wamp Server for more than a year,
Now I faced a problem that I couldn't start Wamp server (The icon just stay red and the error message appear)
I managed to uninstall Wamp and reinstall it again, and so I did, but before that I copied the folder from mysql/data to my desktop then when I reinstall it I copied that files to the original location.
Then mysql just got confused... And phpmyadmin is not working so I fixed that by restoring the fresh install folder contents..
But I couldn't start mysql (the wamp servers icon still on yellow)
So after I googled a lot, I deleted every thing in the mysql/data except for:-
mysql
test
performance_schema
And my problem solved :)
I had this same problem...
WampServer has been running fine since Feb on my local dev server. Today I couldn't get it to run.
Off to google where I found this page and found no answers until I saw the last entry:
"1.Run WampServer: Apache->service->test port 80.
2.Find out application which occupation port 80(e.g. skype)"
So did and it returned that Skype was possibly blocking port 80.
Turned off Skype and the problem was solved.
I had the same problem. Mysql didn't start.
go to services.
right click the wampmysqld go to properties.
startup type select manual.
right click and click start service.
worked for me.
-Go to Task Manger
-End all task instances of mysql
-restart your wampserver
For me, adding innodb_force_recovery=3 to my.ini solved the issue
Another option is removing ibdata files and all ib_logfile from the data directory , as explained in MySQL docs here. However this will cause any innoDB tables not to work(because the some information stored in ibdata1)
You may want to reset data from MySQL
delete previous data from C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data
restart service
Delete everything from this file.
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.36\data\mysql-bin.index
Restart mysql server and it should work.
I opened up services.msc from the command prompt and disabled SQL Server reporting services
& SQL Server analysis services. These services were using port 80.
Then I restarted WAMP Server and it started working properly as before.
I have uninstalled the WampServer completelly, and deleted all files in /wamp folder, except www. This folder is preserved when uninstalling. After that I've installed it again and it works fine.
Important: This is helpful only in case when you already have your database backed up. All data from the database will be wiped out this way.
Delete everything from this file.
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.36\data\mysql-bin.index
It works for me. My wamp server has turned green. Tnx a lot
Click on wamp (Yellow) icon
Go Apache-> Service-> Test port 80. If port is available to use
then go to Apache->Service-> Install Service
then click on Restart All Services.
Have you tried just changing the port number of MySQL and see if it works?
Right click your WAMP icon
Choose MySQL, in the menu choose "Use a port other than 3306"
Change port number to be "3307"
I've got a very similar problem, after a lot trying even the solutions in this question I concluded with THIS OTHER ANSWER.
I didn't replicated it here because it is NOT A CORRECT THING TO DO.
Basically is about re-installing MySQL (or the entire package) being sure to delete very well the old my-sql-data very well (back it up if you might need it) and stick on using 32 bit versions.
simplest this to do is find what other service is using the same service id as mysql does in windows.
When i looked through the list of services running on my pc (even after a restart...i still had the problem)
I quickly realised i had webmatrix installed on my computer previous to wamp server...webmatrix installed its own copy of mysql and set it to automatically startup another instance each time i logged in.
As soon as the other instance of mysql associated with web matrix was stopped (and changed from automatic startup to manual) my problem with WAMP mysql was solved.
I was running on the same problem, wampmysqld64 did not start, so I checked the Mysql log which you should find it inside the main wamp64 folder, and I found all the details on why is not working. on my computer I found another mysql instance is running so it prevents the wampmysqld64 to start. I stopped the other instance, and everything works fine after.
I have solved my problem just by following below steps:
On windows platform press WINDOWS + R
Put services.msc and press OK
Stop already running MySQL and
Go to Wamp and start/resume MySQL service
All the best
Click on wampserver icon then -> Apache -> httpd.conf -> search listen here you will find port number like this #Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80 change this port number with any other number like Listen 12.34.56.78:81 save this and now restart all servers it gets green to orange.
I had the same probelm for the past 3 days. Try this. It will definitely work.
BEFORE proceeding with the installation of Wampserver, you must ensure that certain elements are installed on your system, otherwise Wampserver will absolutely not run, and in addition, the installation will be faulty and you will need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing the elements that were missing.
Uninstall wamp and download and Install microsoft visual c++ redistributable 2008 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=29), microsoft visual c++ redistributable 2012 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=30679), microsoft visual c++ redistributable 2015 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=48145). Now, reinstall wamp and it should work fine.
Wow.. This works for me. Unistall the wamp server
Make sure this dependencies are successfully installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages vcredist_Allversions(x32 orx64) depending on your OS.
Reinstall the wamp server and you are good to go. Thank you
Run WampServer: Apache->service->test port 80.
Find out what application which occupies the port 80(e.g. skype)
Shut down and restarts WampServer.
Basically this happens when you have not installed pre required software installed on your machine while installing Wampserver you might have got error bellow error at the time of installation.
program can't start because msvcr120.dll is missing OR
program can't start because msvcr120.dll is missing
If you fixed those issue after the installation of wampserver then you might get stuck at this problem.
Then You can simply uninstall and install wamp server again
And If you have not install pre required dependency then first of all uninstall wampserver . And then install pre requirement first and then finally you can install Wampserver and it should work now.
you can download Pre-required applications from following link

My problem was that wampmysqld64 service was disabled, so I went to:
task manager > services > right click on wampmysqld64 and then properties, another window is gonna open, look for wampmysqld64 service then right click and then click on properties and a window is gonna pop up:
On "Startup type" just change it from disabled to automatic, then go back click on the service and run it and that's it wamp logo it's gonna turn green.

Modify DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for Apache? Perl CGI script not working when connecting to MySQL

I have a Perl CGI script that works fine when I run it from the command line with ./roster_return.cgi StudentID=101095 but when I run it in MAMP (http://localhost:8888/cgi-bin/roster_return.cgi?StudentID=101095), I get the following error in my apache log:

I now remember that a few years ago I had to add this line to my .bash_profile:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/"
in order to get the command line perl scripts to work. This would explain why the library is not loading from MAMP, since it is not using my .bash_profile paths. How would I add this location for the MAMP server's path??
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
You could try Apache's mod_env in your VirtualHost config:
SetEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH path/to/libs
You can also add the line to the apachectl script:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/libs"
It's usually in the bin directory of Apache. I needed to load pdo_informix for a project and that's the only place that got it working.
