Can't install 2.0 Prev 4+ build 20100823

Hi all,

I need to update my 2.0 Prev 4+ from build 20100818 to 20100823 (latest). This is required so I can test some features which were broken on earlier releases. Build ...818 is installed OK.

As soon as I repalce the moodle directory with the new build ...823 I can't get past the database settings page of the installation process. I get the following error:

Warning: mysqli::close() [mysqli.close]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in C:\Documents and Settings\GSisson\My Documents\Moodle\server\moodle\lib\dml\mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 305

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to clear out the moodledata folder?

I am using a local install for testing, orginally setup using one of the windows install packages.

Thanks

After much frustration and took the plunge and installed xampp as pre instrustion here and installed the standard packages instead of the complete install packages.

Proud to say I now have Prev 4+ 20100823 up and running.

Back to testing, now where was I...

I have tried in MacOS 10.6 and have the same problem. I can't do clean install neither upgrade.

Hello, I had the same issue occur with me on one of my uploaded installs of Moodle 2.0 that I created to host on Godaddy. Example: ...thedidacticproject.org\server\moodle\lib\dml\mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 305 However, I found a solution for my problem.

I had to go to MySQL database hosting control after I created the database. Access phpMyAdmin from the database area and retrieve the Server: IP via TCP/IP. I put the Server IP in the Server Name: ______. With that information plus all the other correct data the install worked as it should and I moved on to the next screen or phase of Moodle 2.0 install.

Hope that this helps someone else.

Need to amend comment above slightly.

I put the Server IP in the Server Host: 00.00.00.00 section. Then the section moved forward.

After creating your new config.php; make sure you go in and check to see that the new information has been created properly in the config.php. I found that I had to go in and edit the field to reflect the correct information found in the database host. But I have now been able to move past the original problem that is stated above.
