[Koha] Koha mysql error

[Mike Dalgity]

Hi Dennis, I can confirm I got the same error message regarding PDF::API2.
I don't know if it matters at all because I haven't tested any of the
barcode stuff yet.  There's one change I had to make in the koha.mysql file
before installing.  Search for return and change it to `return`.  Not sure
what's causing your Access Denied errors for kohaadmin.  Looks like you were
able to connect to MySQL the first time and create the Koha database however
this will prevent successfully installing thereafter.  Here's what I used to
uninstall my partial install when I was still figuring it out.

# to remove koha config files:
rm /etc/koha*

# to remove web sites: (default path is different)
rm -rf /var/www/koha

# to remove koha database
mysqladmin -f -uroot -p drop Koha
mysql -uroot -p -Dmysql -e"delete from user where user='kohaadmin'"
mysql -uroot -p -Dmysql -e"delete from db where user='kohaadmin'"

# reload mysql
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload

#If doing a full uninstall don't forget to remove the "Include
/etc/koha-httpd.conf" line at the end of apache config file.

I need help.  I believe, anyone here could be my savior.  I installed
Koha 2.2.8 on a Fedora Core 5 with Apache 2.2.4, MySQL 5.0.37.

In the Perl Modules, I got this message in red:

PERL MODULES

Checking perl modules ...

Subroutine PDF::API2::Resource::Font::Postscript::O_RDONLY redefined
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.

 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PDF/API2/Resource/Font/Postscript.pm line
46

The installation proceeded but when I got to the database portion,
here's what I got:

 CREATING DATABASE

Creating the MySQL database for Koha...

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost'
(using password: YES)

DBI connect('Koha:localhost','kohaadmin',...) failed: Access denied

/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 411
Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at
scripts/updater/updatedatabase line 1553.
Problem updating database...

I logged in as root to the mysql server, and then repeated the
process.  Here's what I got:

ROOT USER PASSWORD

To create the koha database, please enter your mysql server's root
user password:

Password:

 CREATING DATABASE

Creating the MySQL database for Koha.../usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin:

CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Can't create database 'Koha'; database
exists'

 ERROR CREATING DATABASE

Couldn't connect to the MySQL server for the reason given above. This
is a serious problem, the database will not get installed.

Press <ENTER> to continue:

DBI connect('Koha:localhost','kohaadmin',...) failed: Access denied
for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at
/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 411

Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at
scripts/updater/updatedatabase line 1553.

Problem updating database...

What's the problem here?  I used the same root password for mysql.

I'd appreciate anybody's help.

Thanks so much.
