<div>There are eamples of Moodle beign successfully installed on 1and1 Apache hosted sites. There are some formalities that you must follow. In the config.php file, yuo must use the following format for the listed database variables:<br />
<br />
$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)<br />
<br />
$CFG->dbhost = 'db123.perfora.net'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com<br />
<br />
$CFG->dbname = 'db123456789'; // database name, eg moodle<br />
<br />
$CFG->dbuser = 'dbo123456789'; // your database username<br />
<br />
$CFG->dbpass = 'Gvu8rrqs'; // your database password<br />
<br />
$CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // Prefix to use for all table names<br />
<br />
<br />
other variables must be defined as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://www.yoururl.com';<br />
<br />
$CFG->dirroot = '/homepages/12/d123456789/htdocs/yourdirectory';<br />
<br />
$CFG->dataroot = '/homepages/12/d123456789/htdocs/moodledata';<br />
<br />
So far, this gets me into the Moodle setup program on theserver, but I get errors when trying to install Moodle. It can't seem to correctly set up the database. Please edit this page to provide more information to the many users of 1and1. Thanks you.</div>Slcoluccihttps://docs.moodle.org/21/en/index.php?title=1and1_MySQL_installation&diff=237531and1 MySQL installation2007-05-27T17:34:15Z<p>Slcolucci: Information on installing Moodle on a 1and1 hosted site</p>
