My last question/issue is about dependancies. When I started working with SER I already had MySQL install, version 3.23.36 I believe. I could not get the MySQL portion integration to work, and found that permissions were not correctly granted. After manually correcting the permissions, I had errors about the communications between SER and MySQL. I updated MySQL to the latest stable release and client programs, and the integration worked with no manual intervention.

I personaly use 3.23.52 for development, but I am sure that 3.23.36 works, we use it. What kind of communication error did you get ? Could you send me some error logs ?

I've also had similiar trouble regarding the permissions. I've installed v3.23.52 of MySQL, and run the ser_mysql.sh script, but get the following error message:

Dec 6 14:50:42 localhost /usr/sbin/ser[4766]: connect_db(): Access denied for user: 'user@localhost.localdomain' (Using password: YES) Dec 6 14:50:42 localhost /usr/sbin/ser[4766]: db_init(): Error while trying to connect database

When I check the permissions I see the following:

mysql> select * from user; Where both 'ser' and 'serro' have no privileges at all.

[...]

I guess that's ok -- the user database just tells that these user have no general privileges to change any database. They are granted permissions for accessing ser database in the 'db' table.

I have no clue where the error might live. Try manual login using mysql with the same username and password to get closer to the problem.
