Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: moodle
Database connection failed. After fixing up php.ini where the default
memory_limit in Ubuntu is too small for Moodle 1.9 and restarting apache
a pop-up window requests that "sudo dpkg-reconfigue moodle" be run.
When this is run the database connection fails. The following solution
has worked with a previous version of Ubuntu but is not currently
functional.
The workaround is to remove --purge everything vaguely related to postgresql,
remove moodle and start again.
rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql after saving its content in needed.
sudo aptitude purge cl-sql-postgresql odbc-postgresql \
postgresql-8.4 postgresql-common-8.4 postgresql-common
sudo apt-get remove --purge postgresql-client-8.4
sudo find / -name postgresql -exec rm -Rf {} \; removes users.
sudo find / -name pgsql -exec rm -Rf {} \;
sudo find / -name psql -exec rm -Rf {} \;
apt-get -f install
apt-get remove --purge moodle
edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini modify so memory_limit =128M
apt-get install postresql-8.4
apt-get install moodle
Some things work sometimes. In a previous install of moodle (about a year ago)
reloading libgd2-xpm caused it to start working. Moodle has broken every
attempt at installation on Debian and Ubuntu for many years. The problem most
often turns out to be php.ini related. If a reboot has been requested by an
upgrade the above does not work until after the reboot has been performed.
Would it make sense to update the default php.ini to overcome this difficulty?
Google is full of unsolved problems that appear to be the same as the one
described. The suggested updates can be found here:
