I'm new to Moodle and Nix so please excuse dumb questions.
I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 and Moodle 2.14 using the git instructions at http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Installation_on_Ubuntu_using_Git.
When I press next after entering my database settings I get the error at the top of rthe screen:
Warning: mysqli::close(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 336
with these errors at the bottom.
Error: Database connection failed
It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.
The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php
Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'moodleuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 75
Now there seemed to be these sort of errors a year ago.
Is there a simple solution to this or does anyone know an Ubuntu/Moodle combination that is safe and stable?
Cheers
Peter
