Drupal 7 Install Problems

Hi all,

tried installing Drupal 7 both from the full wamp installer and drupal module installer and the standalone wamp+drupal installer.

Each time when i try and start Drupal i get the following error

“PDOException: SQLSTATE28000 1045 Access denied for user ’bitnami’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in lock_may_be_available() (line 165 of C:\BitNami Drupal Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\lock.inc).”

The only think i am changing from the defaults in the installers is the install path ‘to c:\Drupal Wamp’ and the mysql port from 3306 to 3307 – my server already has a mysql install on 3306 that i dont want to use.

Platform Windows 7 Ultimate with all patches – this is my own local server for me to try 7 out.

Any ideas?

Hi,

It is strange, we can not reproduce it. Could you try to restart the servers? Could you check the mysql credentials in your_installdir/apps/drupal/htdocs/sites/default/settings.php? Could you try to login in the WAMP database using these credentials?

Hi,

Did as you requested – logged in using MySQL workbench as user bitnami with no problems.

The DB connection specified looks good i.e. correct port etc – MySQL and APache are running and connect to phpMyAdmin with no problems (as administrator that is). Can see the drupal7 database has been created. Restart the services several times – same error when trying to access drupal.

At a loss!

Could you try to specify “127.0.0.1” instead of “localhost” in the database configuration in the settings.php file?

Hi,

did as you suggest, and its still the same error – even says drupal@localhost but have i check 3 times i changed it to 127.0.0.1 as below

$databases = array (
‘default’ =>
array (
‘default’ =>
array (
‘database’ => ‘bitnami_drupal7’,
‘username’ => ‘bitnami’,
‘password’ => ‘password-removed!’,
‘host’ => ‘127.0.0.1’,
‘unix_socket’ => ‘C:\BitNami Drupal Stack/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock’,
‘port’ => ‘3310’,
‘driver’ => ‘mysql’,
‘prefix’ => ’’,
),
),
);

Hi,

The problem is the “unix_socket” line. Please remove it or download again the new Drupal 7 windows modules that it is fixed.

Cheers, thanks for reporting it.

Hi,

just deleted the offending line and it worked fine.

I did download the r01 release module and it still has the same problem (same offending line) as i reinstalled it all from scratch – in the end just deleted the line! :-)

Thanks for the help
