1.9 install problem

1.9 install problem

I am trying to load a demo site on the www of 1.9 to test drive some of the features. I loaded beta version and modified the $CFG->dbhost and dbuser as per the instructions, renamed the config.php file, and uploaded that to the moodle file. When I navigate to the web site and continue with the install, I still get the following message:

Type: fixed to "mysql" by the installer
Host: fixed to "localhost" by the installer
Name: database name, eg moodle
User: fixed to "root" by the installer
Password: your database password
Tables Prefix: optional prefix to use for all table names

It seems that the mods to the config.php file do not modify the install code to recognize the new host site or the data base.

What else do I need to do to change "localhost" and "user"?

TF,

What you need to change is the Moodle download you are using.

  1. If you are installing your demo Moodle on the www so it can be accessed from other machines via the Internet, you need to use a generic download, not a Windows or Mac package.
  2. And again, as you probably know, on the www localhost won't work, which is why you need a generic Moodle.
