MT Core on CentOS 6.2

[robert lauriston]

I'm installing MindTouch following these instructions exactly (cut and pasted the commands):

The command-line part seemed to go fine. I'm stuck on step 5 of the browser portion of the installation with the error "MySQL failed with error [2003] Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (13)."

Here's the mysql status:

Someone told me to try setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1. Here's the output:

libsemanage.get_home_dirs: dekiwiki homedir /var/www or its parent directory conflicts with a file context already specified in the policy. This usually indicates an incorrectly defined system account. If it is a system account please make sure its uid is less than 500 or its login shell is /sbin/nologin.

OK, I worked around that error with

chcon -R -thttpd_sys_content_t /var/www/dekiwiki

The one other thing I had to do was open the firewall:

sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
sudo service iptables save

Hi

Just a short note to say I'm interested in your progress. I installed Core on Redhat and Centos 6.2 seems an appropriate upgrade for me.

Please keep us informed

Thanks
Jeremy

It's working fine for me now. The initial problems I reported went away when I started over with a clean install of CentOS 6.2. The instructions worked fine except for the two issues I noted above (permissions and firewall).
