Mac OSX - DB function failed with error number 1

Postby m32dave » 25. August 2010 08:53

Would really appreciate help for this New User.

If the info below is not enough, could anyone tell me what info I need to give. Thanks in advance.

I'm on a Mac using Safari. I'm getting this error message below when I try to save a new article or hit Article Manager. I installed successfully. I'm following the Visual Guide http://help.joomla.org/files/VisualGuide15.pdf


500 - An error has occurred!

Did you install XAMPP as described in the Documentation? I don't have a Mac, so I really don't knwo where XAMPP for Mac is storing the temporary data, but i assume that it should be somewhere inside /Application/XAMPP.

Here is the explanation from MySQL:

Thanks. Idid install as described. I reinstalled to try and resolve, but made no difference. Info is stored in the application folder.


This is bugging me.

Could you please post your MySQL configuration file (called my.cnf or my.ini). I don't know the exact path, but i assume it is in an folder called etc or somewhere inside the mysql folder.

Here is the code, located in: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/my.cnf

# Example MySQL config file for small systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (<= 64M) where MySQL is only used
# from time to time and it's important that the mysqld daemon
# doesn't use much resources.
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/var/mysql) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.

# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
#password = your_password
port = 3306
socket = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock

# Here follows entries for some specific programs

# Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all. This can be a security enhancement,
# if all processes that need to connect to mysqld run on the same host.
# All interaction with mysqld must be made via Unix sockets or named pipes.
# Note that using this option without enabling named pipes on Windows
# (using the "enable-named-pipe" option) will render mysqld useless!

hi found solution to this, you need to start MYSQL as root.

edit /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp
find "$XAMPP_ROOT/bin/mysql.server start > /dev/null &"
change to "$XAMPP_ROOT/bin/mysql.server start --user=root > /dev/null &"

HTH

Si.

Guys, I was able to solve the issue with the steps above. However I found my solution and it might work for someone else:
You have to give 777 permision to the temp directory.
-cd to xamppfiles
- sudo chmod 777 temp
- restart mysql
Hope it helps someone else too.
Cheers,
