Creating connection to Database Server: Failed!

[memori]

Bonjour, Hi
i'm french.

I have this error message and I do not know what to do ?

thanck

TestLink setup will now attempt to setup the database:

Creating connection to Database Server: Failed!
Please check the database login details and try again.
Database Error Message: Une tentative de connexion a échoué car le parti connecté n'a pas répondu convenablement au-delà d'une certaine durée ou une connexion établie a échoué car l'hôte de connexion n'a pas répondu.

English translation:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a certain time, or established connection failed because connected host has not responded

Is the database on a remote host? If so, is there any firewall blocking?

[memori]

hi,

it's on a Virtual machine (vmware), no firewall on
on localhost, with minimum of config.
the last version of testlink and i've install easyPHP on my vm (with apache, etc...)

[TurboPT]

I'm not sure how helpful I can be with the easyPHP...

Are all the various 'AMP' [apache, mysql, php] portions working properly?
... and what are the versions of each of those?

[memori]

hello,

it's EasyPHP-5.3.3 =
php 5.3.3
apache 2.2.16
mysql 5.1.49
phpmyadmin : 3.3.5

all seems ok : Apache service and Mysql service are started
the database is already created manually with sql scripts (find in installation manual, because I could not do with automatic installation but at final it's the same error message)

What do you use instead easy php ?
I can install something else instead if it's free.
initially, I would just tested TESTLINK

thanks

Hi !

I've solved the problem :

initially i've installed "testlink" in web local (
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\www\
Root)

now i've created an alias :
testlink C:\testlink\

and now installation is successfull !

Thanks !

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. Apache, mysql, and php are up and running. Even I am able to access testlink through http://localhost/testlink
but it throws the same error "Creating connection to Database Server: Failed!" (Database Error Message: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061))

any help is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

MYSQL says:

(10061) indicates that the network connection has been refused. You should check that there is a MySQL server running, that it has network connections enabled, and that the network port you specified is the one configured on the server.

Start by checking whether there is a process named mysqld running on your server host. (Use ps xa | grep mysqld on Unix or the Task Manager on Windows.) If there is no such process, you should start the server.

1. Ensure that the mysqld is present. [as specified above]
2. Double-check the entries in the config_db.inc.php file.
3. Ensure no firewall blocking. [if applicable]

Post again, if needed.

I also have issue when install in MacOSX Server Website. The error message is :

TestLink setup will now attempt to setup the database:

Creating connection to Database Server:Failed!
Please check the database login details and try again.
Database Error Message: No such file or directory

How can I solve this problem?

Same issue, on a Linux LAMP with 1.9.15

Configuration issue. The DB returned error 2002 but the error message displayed is file not found which is misleading and threw me off track. Once I figured that I have a 2002 error, it was easy to find the issue. In my case I needed to make sure that the socket is defined in php.ini.
