[Server-devel] Database error troubleshooting

[David Leeming]

Hi

Apache and Moodle logs attached. Had a look through but not sure,

The person in the remote school is able to ping the FQDN and the shortcut schoolserver which both resolve and reply OK, using both the server terminal and from a connected XO

Moodle is very dependent on name resolution.

Ensure that the FQDN of the XS and 'schoolserver' are resolvable by both
the XS and the XOs. Did the hostname/domain name change on the XS? Try
pinging both the FQDN and the short alias from the XS and XO's.
