      Greetings everybody

      I've just installed a fresh I-DOIT 1.48 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and ran into some problems connecting to our OCS 2.1 RC1. Running on a seperate server, the OCS has been in use for some years now without any trouble. To connect the i-doit I created a user in MySQL on the OCS server and allowed external access. This configuration seems to be allright, because I can login and obtain data when I connect from the I-Doit Server Command Line:

      hr]

      root@xxxx:/var/www/html# mysql -u idoit -p -D ocsweb -h 192.168.0.5
      
      Enter password:
      Reading table information for completion of table and column names
      You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
      
      Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

      mysql> show databases;
      +--------------------+
      | Database           |
      +--------------------+
      | information_schema |
      | ocsweb             |
      +--------------------+
      2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
      
      

      But when I configure these settings into i-doit GUI I get an error: "Could not connect to OCS database"

      Is there a detailed log file to figure out the reason causing this error? Are any special rights need for the MySQL connection?

      Thanks in advance - any help is much appreciated 🙂

        Hi,

        I got the same error on multiple installations and couldn't figure out the problems causing it.

          Unfortunately when I copy the Database from the OCS Server to the local Database on the i-doit installation it works like a charm. But thats not a practicable solution.

          Furthermore I can't figure out how to specify the connection OCS-Object<-> i-doit Object in the GUI. Some Information isn't passed at all like the User in OCS.
