      Hm, there is no table user in the idoit_sys database. But I guess you are meaning the mysql database. Here is the output of the command:
      | %                        | idiot | 5203a74776cb92fd |
      | localhost                | idiot | 5203a74776cb92fd |
      | idiot                    | idiot | 5203a74776cb92fd |
      I have absolutly no idea where the idiot comes from, the name of the box is linux3, it is configured in /etc/hosts and the local nameserver.  No idiot host in both…
      I´ve now dropped all tables, deleted all i-doit users from the mysql database and started the auto setup all over again: No tables were created, no users where created.

      Since your mandator's name seems to be in german, erm, you could also use our german side of the forum

      Yes, you are right, even if my real first name is Mike. Just jumped into the forum from the start page and jumped into the first matching category without any closer looks…

        Hm, now it gets a bit complicated 😉
        With you first i-doit installation the users seemed to be created by i-doit, with an additional 'idiot' host, this is a thing the Setup should not ever do.
        The second installation on the other hand didn't create any user or host, which is very ominous.

        I must admit that I'm puzzled, we didn't ever have such occurrences with our systems. The only conclusion I come up with is that somehow the root password you are using is wrong or has strange characters which i-doit doesn't understand 😉
        Or maybe somebody removed the wrong hosts from the user table (no hidden accusation here) so that i-doit can't connect to mysql via the root user. Or you really have to specify another port for the mysql connection in i-doit.

        MfG,

          Hi, back from a long weekend. Ok, the password is much too simple to cause any problems, it´s not even a password anybody would use in the wild. So what I´ve tried now is to set up the i-doit system on a Trustix box. Here I get the following message when I try to login to do the i-doit setup:
          Not all needed extensions are installed.
          I need: mysql xml standard pcre session
          I have: xml standard pcre session
          Looks like some php related stuff. If you may give me a hint I will try to setup i-doit. While I´m not very familiar it would be nice if you give me some more detailed instructions, where to find the extension or where to but it.
          Thanks,

          Mike

            Just a small update: I did a eGroupware installation on the same Centos box which works without any problems. The installation and setup procedure is pretty close to i-doit. The eGroupware didn´t have any problems creating it´s mysql databases, tables and database users at the localhost and port 3306. So the problem is really somewhere inside the i-doit application. Maybe some kind of encryption? The root user password is a combination of the letters a, g and m, so there shouldn´t be any problems with the encoding.

            Regards,

            Mike

              Hi Mike,
              in an AMP package you may need to activate the mysql extension in your php.ini. How did you install php?

              Activate mysql:
              –-
                - vi /etc/php/php.ini (you may have to correct the path to your php.ini location)
                - add or uncomment the following: extension=mysql.so
              –-

              (If you've compiled it using the sources from php.net, you need to compile php with the mysql extension first. (./configure –with-config-file-path=/etc/php/php.ini --with-openssl --with-mysql ..))

                Did the entry, restarted apache, same result. The php installation is the distribution based one, which is similar to the RedHat EL 5 installation. I have added my php.ini file. This is the resulting page of info.php:

                mysqli.reconnect

                And finally the output of the package management system:
                php-mysql.i386                          5.1.6-15.el5          installed

                So maybe you can see some problems.

                    What you wrote earlier, that the extension 'mysql xml standard pcre session' was not installed… is that still the case?

                      Sorry that I´ve puzzled you. I currently trying to install i-doit on two different Linux flavours: CentOS 5, the one which is most of the thread about and Trustix 2.2, the one with the 'mysql xml standard pcre session' was not installed' error. Trustix is actually the system of our production servers. But while support seems to go down for this great system we are looking for another distro. Centos 5 is now the first test environment and I thought it is a good idea to also implement one or two of this "ever wanted but never had the time to get one" services like an it inventory. There is one included with our Zabbix network monitoring system but it´s much too basic to meet our requirements.
                      So while I know my ways around with Trustix I´ve tried to install i-doit on such a system but the setup doesn´t start and just the above error pops up. I´ve tried to find the module but hadn´t any success. If you could point me to the right direction I would be very happy.

                        hmm strage , can you check if networking is enabled in mysqld.
                        if you type " telnet localhost 3306" the result should be something like
                        Trying 127.0.0.1…
                        Connected to localhost.localdomain.
                        Escape character is '^]'.
                        A
                        5.0.22-Debian_3-logmzJhM)#s=s,�Oo`sC5{.rtoQ

                          Her is the output:

                          Trying 127.0.0.1…
                          Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

                          As you can see we´re both running the same version of mysql...

                            Need: mysql xml standard pcre session    stuff

                            I resolved it by installing php-mysql (running on Centos5)
                            yum –disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c5-testing install php-mysql

                            restart Apache and try again

                              you may also want to install thoses additional php libraries:

                              yum –disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c5-testing install php-curl
                              yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c5-testing install php-ldap

                                  Hello derHabi,

                                  Welcome to our i-doit forums!

                                  Please take a close look at our knowledge base: https://kb.i-doit.com/display/en/Installation

                                  Linux Mint 18.1 is based on Ubuntu 16.04 which is currently not supported because of PHP 7. Please switch to another GNU/Linux distribution or just wait for i-doit 1.9. The pro version will be published in May.

                                  Greetings,
                                  Benjamin
