| Double check your mysql login and password. This problem is usually due to typo or using the shell login instead of the mysql login. Posted: 2009-09-06 09:11:05 | ||

| For reference, how did you solve the problem? You can create a test if you want to test your attendees. See the Tests & Surveys section of the instructor handbook. Posted: 2009-09-06 14:26:52 | ||

| I also have problems with installing ATutor on my 1and1 web server. During step 2 of the install, I get "Unable to connect to database server" error. Since 1and1 requires I give my hostname as "localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock", I have my doubts whether the ATutor installation setup can process it correctly. I have verified that my mySQL database is working fine with my other applications including phpMyAdmin. Any suggestions on what I can do to overcome this problem? Posted: 2009-11-23 17:21:27 | ||

| "localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock" does not sound right to me, though I don't know anything about the 1and1 setup. I suggest you talk to them, and tell them the problem. Posted: 2009-11-24 07:50:15 | ||

| I contacted 1and1 support with my complaint about using "localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock" as hostname in LAMP applications. Their answer was... "If your web application will not accept 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock' as a valid hostname, you may also try '127.0.0.1:/tmp/mysql5.sock' or simply ':/tmp/mysql5.sock'. If none of these options resolve your issue, you maybe specify the socket for connecting to mysql in the apache configuration by adding the following line to an php.ini file mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql5.sock and then placing this php.ini in every folder that contains a php file with a mysql connection script or by making a symbolic link to the php.ini in every folder that contains a php file with a mysql connection script." I tried using the 1and1 support suggested hostnames, they did not work with ATutor install step 2. The ATutor install step 2 DID WORK when the suggested php.ini was added to EVERY directory containing php files.  Posted: 2009-11-25 07:53:16 | ||

| Seems like a lot of unnecessary work. I'm curious why this provider has set things up like this. It's not something we've ever encountered before. Posted: 2009-11-25 10:48:07 | ||
