So. Downloaded that thing to prepare for IPB4, and it told me I should upgrade mysql. So I tried. Followed all the instructions, I swear. It did not end well, had to reinstall mysql completely, but I think it is done now, the only thing is - board is not working yet, driver error thingie.

After 6 hours of search, I remembered there was an error log in that cache folder, and it said this:

Error: 1045 - Access denied for user '‘da_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I did set up a user "da_admin" through ssh when I was installing that monster, and set password for it, but user before for forum was "admin_forum". So changed that in conf_global.php, from "admin_forum" to "da_admin", still does not work.

Any ideas what I should do?

Make it work guys, can't look at it anymore :cry:

You shouldn't be using da_admin, that is a default direct admin account, so I'm guessing here you are using direct admin here? If so you should be creating the database and use from the control panel... please clarify if you are using da?

Thank you for your answer!

Yes, yes, that is DirectAdmin user...

Found this now (can't put screenshot), it is in phpmyadmin when I click "users" - this yes/no column is for "grant":

admin_forum localhost Yes USAGE No
da_admin localhost Yes ALL PRIVILEGES Yes

Is that what I need to change? Put user back in conf_global to admin_forum and grant it access somehow?

YES! YES! That fixed it. Giving privileges to admin_forum and changing it back in conf_global.

Well, that and I also noticed I forgot a semicolon after new password :D

Thank you Rhett!!!

I have officially upgraded mysql almost alone!

Glad you got it working :)

Uhmmmm, me again -.-

I fixed all red lines that appeared, except the last one... Which needs Matt's converter thing. Uploaded it, and it gives this error. Googled it, there are like 5 different explanations what to do about it, don't know what any of them do, so don't dare to do anything.

Anyone encountered this problem, what did you do? :)

You seem to upgrade MySQL however you seem to miss upgrading your php5-mysql

If you are on centos

yum list php-mysql*

should give you clear information on how to proceed further.

Ahh sorry i missed to add php5-mysql* this should list the correct version you need to use.

this should be it.

but remember this is using da and custombuild 2 so may been to do sql/php builds from custombuild.

[root@perpetuum-lab ~]# yum list php5-mysql*

unfortunately, same output...

this is using da and custombuild 2 so may been to do sql/php builds from custombuild.

This I have to Google :D

lol yeah I know what you mean. took me a bit to get used to it.

cannot re ember if DA using different repos than stock cent which is why the php5 cmd showed same thing.

in case anyone hits this on search trying to install mysql rpms outside of custombuild will cause issues.

As mentioned above, you should only use custombuild to upgrade mysql/php etc with DA, if you need help with this, please check the custom build section on the DA forums for help, there are step by step guides which are easy to follow.

Updating these items outside of DA can cause other issues though.

heh heh

sometimes ./build all d CORRECTS all :)

Thanks Rhett!

Dmacleo already fixed everything that was wrong, and there was a lot :D

So thank you all, you are best community ever :*

Great to hear! :)

most wasn't too bad, was more an issue of all the main items needed updates.including directadmin and custombuild itself.
