Thank you! I had forgotten the server had a new IP. Make is now successful. Paul Landers I.T. Section Manager TTUHSC Preston Smith Library paul.landers@ttuhsc.edu On Jun 24, 2008, at 5:01 PM, MJ Ray wrote:

Attempting to upgrade from Beta2 to RC1 on Debian Etch per the upgrade instructions in INSTALL.debian.

perl Makefile.PL completes successfully, but then when issuing make, it fails with this error:

Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at rewrite-config.PL line 67.

Your server won't tell Koha its own IP address. Either sort out its hostname configuration, or enter a line like export WEBSERVER_IP=0.0.0.0 before trying to install.

Aside: that should die with a more informative error - anyone spot why it's not?

I am trying koha installing on ubuntu 6.06. i am still green in mysql and will be grateful if somebody can guide me step by step on how to set mysql password. i am trying "mysqladmin -u password your-new-password" (replacing "your-new-password" with my password but nothing seems to happen).

Your mysqladmin command is using a wrong syntax. Basically, you're forgetting to name the user that you're setting a password for. Are you trying to set the password for the "root" MySQL user? If you are, you should be typing this command instead: # mysqladmin -u root password 'chosenpassword' (Note that I typed "root" - without the quotes - after the -u switch. Replace chosenpassword by your password, but you may leave the single quotes around the password). If you get the following output: ________________________ /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' ________________________ ... then, you have probably already set a password for the MySQL root user. If you know what password you were trying to set, enter the mysql prompt with the following command: # mysql -p ... and, when prompted, enter the password that you think you have set. If this gives you a "mysql>" prompt, but you want to change the password to something else, then type "quit" to leave the mysql prompt (and to return to the shell prompt) and type: # mysqladmin -u root password 'somenewpassword -p (replace somenewpassword by the new password that you want to set). When you get prompted for a password, enter the password "that worked" when you typed the mysql -p command. I recommend that you read: MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 4.5.2 mysqladmin — Client for Administering a MySQL Server http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqladmin.html ... particularly the section that reads "password new-password". I hope this helps you. Best wishes, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net
