But this list tends to be rather helpful for general problems that are less specific to centos. Sometimes. :) Really seems to depend... Incidentally I am using centos on all hosts: #cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) OK now that that's out of the way, for some reason I don't seem to have an entry in my db database for either jokefire or jfwiki: MariaDB [mysql]> select * from db where Db like 'jfwiki' or Db like 'jokefire'; Empty set (0.00 sec) Not sure why that would be the case. They're definitely there on this database server: MariaDB [mysql]> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | bacula | | information_schema | | jfwiki | | jokefire | | mysql | | performance_schema | +--------------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec) Any other ideas?
