    Installation Problems

    Details:

    Operating system: XP Professional
    ATutor Version: Latest stable version
    XAMP: Latest Version

    Install went fine until the very end when I got the following message:

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\atutor\install\include\common.inc.php on line 37

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: A link to the server could not be established in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\atutor\install\include\common.inc.php on line 37

    Is this related to some password for mysql? It seems to be working fine, ATutor will not let me make classes that students can enroll in.

    Thanks,

    Carl

    Re: Installation Problems

    Which step are you referring to?
    Does your database username or password contain any non-alphanumeric characters?

    Re: Installation Problems

    No, I rechecked that, the error messages came up at the end of the install, it was a whole page of the exact same messages -- as far as I know mysql is working fine and passworded, (from XAMP menu).

    Is there something I have to do to enable table setup or does ATutor do that automatically?

    I can create a class as an instructor, but the students cannon request the class.

    Re: Installation Problems

    What happens when a student tries to enter a course, via the Browse Course screen?

    Have you setup a private class, and hidden it in the course Properties?

    Are the errors you mentioned above still occuring?

    Re: Installation Problems

    Ok, did some more research, apparently the email addresses are not being stored, here is the messages I received:

    As Super Administrator -- when changing user's password I got the "The following errors occurred:
    There was an error sending the email message. "

    As a student trying to enroll in a course, the same error message occured.

    As a teacher confirming the enrollment, the same message occured.

    So, the students were allowed to register and the teacher could confirm registration, but the email messages are not getting through.

    Re: Installation Problems

    You likely need to setup a mail server.

    See the section in the php.ini file under Window SMTP server.

    When your mail server is defined in php.ini, then in the ATutor include/config.inc.php set MAIL_USE_SMTP to true.

    Re: Installation Problems

    Ok, I activated Mecury Mail within XAMP, it says its running -- no error messages. ATutor still returns the same error message

    Within php.ini there are only the following:


    [mail function]
    ; For Win32 only.
    SMTP = localhost
    smtp_port = 25

    ; For Win32 only.
    ; sendmail_from = me@example.com

    I checked in the ATutor config.inc.php and mail use is set to true already.

    Since this is on an school networked Intranet server, I am not sure if port 25 will be open for use nor am I familiar how to install/run a SMTP server. My knowledge of this is limited, but I can learn how to set it up or will have to have some hack to get around a closed port?

    Re: Installation Problems

    it should be something like

    SMTP = smtp1@sympatico.ca

    This is a mail server that you, or your organization already have access to.

    I'm not failar with Murcury Mail.
