OCS Database connection failed
-
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. Your MySQL connection id is 102 Server version: 5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.15-log Copyright (c) 2000, 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. 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.
