Stack on Ubuntu

Greetings fellow virtualizers,

I have Ubuntu 9.04 running in VMWare, downloaded the Drupal stack and got it installed / uninstalled to see if that worked…

So far so good, intalled again and wait! Why does the install default to /opt instead of my userdir, as it did the first time?

Anyway, went on with sudo ./ctlscript.sh start mysql and got:

chown: invalid user: ‘mysql’ twice

Read the forum threads, found bitnami as default user. I’m losing track here;-)

Looking at the error (which shows the mysql password the script passed), it seems it wants to use the drupal admin account I created at install.

So, what’s the fastest way at this point to get this up and running?

Thanks!
Ron

Hi,

If you install the Stack as root user the default installdir will be /opt and if you install as regular user the default installdir will be /home/user. Does the “mysql” user exists in your system? could you check your installdir/mysql/data/mysqld.log file? You can try to install as non-root user.

Cheers.
