   27: =head1 SYNOPSIS
   28: 
   29: perl sqltest.pl
   30: 
   31: This script is ordinarily located inside the LON-CAPA source code tree.
   32: This script is normally invoked by test-related targets inside
   33: F<loncapa/loncom/build/Makefile>.
   34: 
   35: =head1 DESCRIPTION
   36: 
   37: This program tests the status of the MySQL database needed by the LON-CAPA
   38: system.  As with the other LON-CAPA test scripts, when reasonable, I try
   39: to avoid importing functionality from other LON-CAPA modules so as to
   40: avoid indirectly testing software dependencies.
   41: 
   42: =head2 ORGANIZATION OF THIS PERL SCRIPT
   43: 
   44: The script is organized into the following sections
   45: 
   46: =over 4
   47: 
   48: =item 1.
   49: 
   50: Modules used by this script,
   51: 
   52: =item 2.
   53: 
   54: Initializations.
   55: 
   56: =item 3.
   57: 
   58: Read in current configuration.
   59: 
   60: =item 4.
   61: 
   62: Is this a library or access server?
   63: 
   64: This step in the script is both a sanity check and also allows for other
   65: future LON-CAPA server types (e.g. "admin", "backup", "firewall") to not
   66: be required to have MySQL.
   67: 
   68: =item 5.
   69: 
   70: Make sure that the database can be accessed.
   71: 
   72: If not, a variety of possible problems should be tested for, and a status
   73: report should be issued to standard output.
   74: 
   75: =item 6.
   76: 
   77: Close database connection.
   78: 
   79: This part of the script is only reached if the database was successfully
   80: connected to.
   81: 
   82: =item 7.
   83: 
   84: Subroutines.
   85: 
   86: B<configuration_scan> - look for PerlSetVar and store inside hash variable.

  247: By process of elimination, the assumption is that www\@localhost
  248: must not be connecting to the database (a system administrator
  249: at your institution may want to look at other possibilities however).
  250: 
  251: To diagnose, try logging in from the command line with
  252:        mysql -u www -p mysql
  253: and use the lonSqlAccess password
  254: listed in loncapa_apache.conf (it normally is set to 'localhostkey').
  255: If logging in fails to work, one possible approach is to REMOVE the
  256: www\@localhost MySQL user.
  257: [shell]\$ mysql -u root -p mysql
  258: mysql> delete from user where user='www'
  259: And then, you will need to repeat the MySQL configuration steps described at:
  260:        http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/install/index.html
  261: 
  262: **** NOTE **** ANOTHER possibility is that you are not running
  263: a compatible set of DBI, Mysql perl modules, and MySQL server software.
