err-connection_refused after completing the step up to create the DB

Help and Support
1

Hi All,

 

I am setting up phpVMS on a Lightsail LAMP instance, following the installation guide I have managed to download, setup a Vhosts, opted to ‘Copy to the Public Directory’, and created the database. After this I restarted Apache.

An initial test results in ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED if I try access?

 

Virtual Hosts is in /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts (phpvms-vhosts.conf)

phpVMS files in public have been successfully copied to /opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs

 

I have not yet configured a domian name (if this makes a difference)?

 

phpVMS version - 7.0.0

PHP version - 7.4.7
MySQL - 8.0.20

AWS Lightsail LAMP instance

 

Removing the phpvms-vhosts.conf corrected this.

 

Regards,

John

phpvms 7 may not be compatible with php7.4. Try changing your php to 7.2

I believe the latest build is PHP 7.3 and 7.4

Can’t hurt to change to PHP 7.2 and try that.

 

I haven’t heard if it works with MySQL 8 though.

During the install does the “Check database connection” work? What’re you using for the database host? 127.0.0.1 or localhost? I usually have to use “127.0.0.1” as sometimes the hostname of “localhost” doesn’t work for some reason
