Regarding below, on the Moodle forum I was advised to try deleting the Moodle config.php file (after backing up) and it would then bring up the install page to regenerate it. However, when I test this on my local XS (0.6) it says install.php not found.
Looking for tips how to regenerate the database connection. David Subject: Re: [Server-devel] Database error troubleshooting Would appreciate any more tips on why the Moodle database connection is in error. My resource person in PNG has repeated tests on the XS and confirms service postgresql status and service httpd status both report postmaster/httpd services are running OK, but the Moodle home pages states database error. I can research this error for default Moodle installations but don't know if there are any specifics related to the XS Moodle configuration.

We already established disk space is OK. It's a default 0.6 installation. service postgresql status - gives "postmaster is stopped" service httpd restart - stops and starts up OK it pings the FQDN and the shortcut schoolserver OK on the XS and an XO using Terminal. Any help with this appreciated. It is difficult to have to reinstall it, as no-one there has the skills.

The reason that I ask, is that I imagine if the Unix domain socket was missing due to an accident, rebooting would start the database server component again and create the Unix domain socket. But I'm really not sure what other conditions might lead to the same symptom. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
