[Server-devel] Database error troubleshooting

[David Leeming]

Regarding below, on the Moodle forum I was advised to try deleting the
Moodle config.php file (after backing up) and it would then bring up the
install page to regenerate it. However, when I test this on my local XS
(0.6) it says install.php not found. 

Looking for tips how to regenerate the database connection.

Would appreciate any more tips on why the Moodle database connection is in
error.

My resource person in PNG has repeated tests on the XS and confirms 

service postgresql status

and 

service httpd status

both report postmaster/httpd services are running OK, but the Moodle home
pages states database error.

I can research this error for default Moodle installations but don't know if
there are any specifics related to the XS Moodle configuration.

More on this from my remote XO Champion in PNG 

Reminder: 
The error is : "Error: Database connection failed" as viewed in a connected
XO when they try to access the Moodle home page (local schoolserver link in
Browse)

Rebooting does not help. We already established disk space is OK. It's a
default 0.6 installation.

service postgresql status  - gives "postmaster is stopped"

service httpd restart - stops and starts up OK 

it pings the FQDN and the shortcut schoolserver OK on the XS and an XO using
Terminal.

Any help with this appreciated. It is difficult to have to reinstall it, as
no-one there has the skills.

Have you tried rebooting the server?

The reason that I ask, is that I imagine if the Unix domain socket was
missing due to an accident, rebooting would start the database server
component again and create the Unix domain socket.

But I'm really not sure what other conditions might lead to the same
symptom.
