    I'm getting the following error and am not sure how to proceed to fix it. I'm installing using the demo license and the defaults on this page are "localhost" for mysql host, "3306" for port, not sure how to create a demo database for the "mysql database" field and "am_" for the tables prefix.

    • Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket. Try to use 127.0.0.1 for MySQL Host setting. If this will not help contact hosting support and ask to provide correct MySQL Host
    • MySQL Error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at /opt/bitnami/apps/moodle/htdocs/amember/library/Am/Setup.php line 103(2002) in query: new PDO

    we ended up figuring this out last night but we're going to hold off on the upgrade until we can test further. We're using it with Moodle 2.2.1 and have developed custom pages for enrollment. We couldn't test as much as we would have liked due to some errors using the test license with amazon AWS.

    Are you aware of any issues we should be aware of in using version 4 with Moodle 2.2?

    thanks!

    There is only one issue yet. Moodle plugin is not available for aMember v4. We have it in our todo list and will work on it later.

    Ok; thanks for the information. We'll hold off until this is integrated.

    Hi,

    Just wondering about the plugin for Moodle 2? I saw on another post (http://www.amember.com/forum/threads/moodle-2-0.12609/) that it was die about now - do you have any idea when this may be ready?

    Have used Moodle 1.9 and amember for the last four years - love it!
