Install looping round MySQL setup

Hi all,

My installation loops. At some point you can enter Mysql username, password, host, port, and whatever I do, it keeps asking those four questions over and over.

System:
- Debian Squeeze 64 bit
- I-mscp 1.0.3

Any hints on this?

Thanks,
Herman

At the second stage install, after building the base.
Steps:
- Enter database hostname: localhost
- Enter database port: default
- Database username: root
- Database password: in clear text
Here the looping starts, goes back to: Enter database hostname.

EDIT: Never mind, now it seems to work. Very odd, I think that this occurs when you enter nothing at database port assuming that doing so will enter the default. I will test that

EDIT2: My assumption is correct. If you enter nothing in the database port field (default, null, 3306) you come into this loop. There should be an error notification at this point, or the default should be entered if the user doens't do that.

i would recommend to use 1.1.0-rc1.4. Installer is bugfixed

Thanks, just reading this AFTER installing 1.0.3.0

I tested it, but bufixed?
I wonder why you choose to enter passwords in visible text "once" in one field, but "twice" in another. Not very consistent

Other then that, it works ok. Install package is 14 MB smaller too, though that doens't matter much these days.

Hello ;

For the root mysql SQL password, we ask once since the password is directly tested for SQL connection. If the SQL connection fail, you will be asked again.

You are asked twice only for the admin password.

BTW: The archive is smaller because the installer get addons (phpmyadmin, ajaxplorer, roundcube) from external repositories now (using composer packages). You are not happy with that ?

Thank you for using i-MSCP

Hi Nuxwin,

Actually, that makes sense. Didn't think of that.
About the package size, I don't mind if it's smaller, though that's a good thing. I need to wait 1 second less for the download

The only thing annoying is that I have to download from SourceForge, it's not very user friendly to wget from there.

Thank you for creating i-MSCP, it's better then Ispcp, which I am still using on my old server until migration is complete.

you can also download from github via Git

Hey, be nice to me, I am redirecting a lot of people to i-MSCP via my website
