> # mysql -h localhost -u my_usr -p'my_pwd'
> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

until you solve that problem, a Moodle with:
$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost';
$CFG->dbname = 'moodle';
$CFG->dbuser = 'my_usr';
$CFG->dbpass = 'my_pwd';
will not work.
 
The unknown factor here is the "droplet", i.e. what the hosting provider gives you under that label. I'm talking about any common Ubuntu or Debian Linux server.
 
BTW, notice that I said,
$ mysql -u DBUSER -p
Enter password: []

Hope, you know what bonusses you add and why.

Moodle in English -> Quiz and question banks -> Question Bank list, Draft not showing -> Community of real intelligences vs AI in solving Moodle problems

Hi Velson

You concluded:

Gaining familiarity with tweaking AI processes is unlikely to happen any time soon.

So, AI not a (the?) "Real Thing"? Oops,.. what a dumb question? The name says it all - _artificial_. 
LOL

Seriously, this text needs to be underlined three times:

My suggestion was prompted by the discovery that the many required steps to a solution were already known within the Moodle community, but lost within the wealth of dispersed interactions.  It needed a real intelligence to spot the relationship between my naive presentation of the problem with the documentation of a very different solution.  Having found a potential solution, I still needed someone with expertise to apply that and related solutions to the problem.

Let's give it a try, although this is not high on my priority list. I newer had to fight such delusions for 20 years (see my forum history).

Today I was having this:

 
Then unpacked the Firefox developer tools and prepared it as instructed (network tab, persist logs). 
 
First problem: When I reload, I get the usual box "Leave the page and lose data" or "Stay on the page". Stay on the page doesn't trigger anything in the Developer tools. Leave the page and re-replying opens my stored input and I land on the same square. Had to open a new browser tab and repeat, only then I get something interesting:
 
I don't see any _files_ there to right-click??
 
Edit: Thought ahead was ready with Developer tools as I submitted this. There I see files:
 
 
The corr. har file is attached. Well, promised too much, the file upload widget is still turning...
 
I have stored the har file. Message me you e-mail to sent it to you via PM.
 
 
Edit: Got the upload widget in a third browser tab and could attach the har file.
