<span lang="EN-GB">I am in the process of trying to implement the Xerte Toolkit in our College, but I am experiencing a specific issue.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I have installed the Toolkit (seemingly successfully) to a LAMP server, following instructions in the Toolkits Guide. However, I keep getting the same error when trying to access the PHP pages which come with Xerte ( I can run phpinfo.php ok) , see below :-<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">However, I still get same error all the time (after several installations tried). I there anyone who could offer some further suggestions? There may be something I have missed or not tried yet …….<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I can authenticate to the MYSQL database directly remotely fine using a Windows MYSQL client on my PC (with same credentials) and I can authenticate to MYSQL directly ok with same credentials locally on the server itself. I have checked user and host permissions in MYSQL and they seem fine for remote access from any host for this mysql user. However, when going through Apache and PHP route I get same error every time ….<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">When looking at database.php, the username/password are showing correctly…<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
