Vultr install Install problems

Developer help

I am not a super advanced user, but this installation on Vultr is error after error. It feels like You can install but it’s just easier to go with ghost pro…

Does anyone know what going on?

Help: Ensure that MySQL is installed and reachable. You can always re-run ghost setup to try again.

Very very annoying

The error says that your MySQL database isn’t available.

Did you set that up properly and is it running?

3

Yes. at least 25 times… I change many configs and use chat to assit

4

The problem is that I am in sao paulo brazil, and a droplet does not run well here, and I need to have bigger servers. Vultr has a server here.

So there is not much option here. unless i go to gcp or aws

5

But ghost setup (or ghost install) doesn’t set up your MySQL server and database.

So, the question remains: did you set that part up?

As in, you ran sudo apt-get install mysql-server, then set up your MySQL user and database?

If you did, make sure the server is running.

Yes i followed the exact guide on ghost and tried som others. I get permission problems, then fixed, then i get squel problems.

I bet if i make a bigger server, it will work… I am starting to see ghost doesn’t like the small server much

7

I ran the server and half the time it crashed the instance

might me just me but I am not doing rocket science here.

8

What is the return of sudo service mysql status?

9

I deleted the server now as I could spend a week of time to fiddle with a little probelm to save 4 bucks. too much time… just opened a droplet

1 vCPU
2GB / 50GB Disk
($12/mo)

The smaller one presents problem after problem and crashes… the internet in Brazil is the worst and we have non stop problems here

Alright. Best of luck with the server then :+1:
