  ATutor installer says 'mysql not found' when it is installed both as a windows service and as a binary in system path. Please help out resolve the issue. The configuration details follow:
  
  operating system - Windows XP SP2
  version of ATutor - 1.5.2
  versions of php - 5.1.2
  version of mysq l - tried 5.1.x as well as 4.1.16
  webserver & version - apache 2.0
  web browser being used - IE 5.1
  
  Thanks,

  Re: ATutor installer fails to recognize MYSQL 4.1 and 5.1

  Are you able to access mysql otherwise?
  
  Have you initialized the database as decribed in the mysql install instructions.
  
  ATutor looks for the default port 3306, so if you have changed that you will need to make the adjustment in the ATutor include/config.inc.php file.

  Re: ATutor installer fails to recognize MYSQL 4.1 and 5.1

  Yes, MySQL is running as a service and also from command prompt. The command 'mysqlshow' shows two databases, mysql and test, which means that the initialization is done properly. I am able to use 'mysqlshow mysql' to see the tables in the mysql database.
  I opened include/config.inc.php file, it shows only one one comment, 'please dont delete this file. Use automated installer'.
  MySQL is running on port 3306. Apache 2.0 is listening to port 9090 (since port 80 is used by IIS 5.1 and 8080 is used by another program).
  
  Could the problem be related to php and mysql integration? Should php be installed AFTER mysql? Coz I have done the other way, installed apache followed by PHP followed by MySQL 4.1.16 / 5.1.0
  
  Things to describe:
  operating system - Windows XP SP2
  version of ATutor - 1.5.2
  versions of php - 5.1.2
  version of mysq l - 4.1.16 / 5.1.0
  webserver & version - Apache 2.0
  copies of error messages - mysql is disabled -- not found
  changes to default settings - Apache listens to port 9090
  web browser being used - IE 5.1
