Installing Elastix for the first time - PBX page

[cipit]

Hi i am brand new to elastix.
So i may be missing some important points here.
I have just recently installed version 2.0 to a VM to be used in conjunction with a portech mv-374.
I have downloaded the elastix without tears, and gone through the first stages for installation.

So to my problem. I have installed elastix, inputted passwords, and have it all setup on static, etc.
I can access the web interface fine.
Until i try to get to the pbx and freepbx pages. on the PBX page it just displays nothing at all, and i then have to close my browser to relogin to the interface.
And the freepbx page displays "Fatal Error, DB error: Connect failed"
Can anyone please advise me here, on what i have done wrong, and what i need to do to get this working.
Any help would be great.

Is the database running? Did you do any changes to my.conf?

You should see something like this...

[root@pbx ~]# ps -ef | grep my
root      2456     1  0 Sep29 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --user=mysql
mysql     2506  2456  0 Sep29 ?        00:00:01 /usr/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --skip-external-locking --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

I had the same problem.

I fixed it by changing my MySQL password so that it didn't contain any special characters (!@#$%^&*).
