I just got a plesk box from RS and uninstalled plesk, updated the system and then downloaded the newest version of plesk and and now trying to install it.

I keep on getting stuck on the same error... I don't have MySQL installed on the system or anything, it's clean.

Here's the error.


===> Installing MySQL Server

And then that's that. That's as far as the install will go, anyone ever had this error before or know what I should do here?

Thanks

What version of Plesk are you trying to install the RPM or Standard version??

Are you loggen in as root, or super-user?

I get the same error when plesk is finishing install

It says there is an error dropping the test database.

I checked the permissions on the database and it will allow ANYONE to drop it.

so i don't know why i am getting this error.

Yes, I am logged in as root when I try doing this.

I have this server updated to the latest packages and kernel.

Remove the file /etc/my.cnf and try again.

I still get this error

locate my.cnf

delete any instances of it off your server

then do

touch /tmp/mysql.sock
chmod 5777 /tmp/mysql.sock

touch /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
chmod 5777 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

then reinstall plesk
