I could not find anywhere talking about mysql setup, like what username and password I need to set up for connection, what DB or table needs to be created.

Specifically, I have installed mysql to /usr/local/mysql, and set up root password, and issued following command

bin/addcourse --db-layout=sql --sql-user=root --sql-pass=secret --sql-db=webwork_admin --sql-wwhost=localhost --users=courses/adminClasslist.lst --professors=admin demo_course ERROR 1075 at line 21: Incorrect table definition; There can only be one auto column and it must be defined as a key DBI connect('ProblemLibrary','webworkRead',...) failed: Access denied for user: 'webworkRead@localhost' to database 'ProblemLibrary' at /opt/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK/DB/Driver/SQL.pm line 39 error instantiating DB schema WeBWorK::DB::Schema::SQL for table problem_library_classify: Can't call method "STYLE" without a package or object reference at /opt/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK/DB/Schema.pm line 81. at /opt/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK/Utils/CourseManagement.pm line 161

Any idea, thanks.

What version of webwork is this from? It sounds like the same problem discussed in the recent thread on preview release 4. In any case, the same suggestions made there apply here.

I have checked out the CVS version, new problem, apache complains that " [Tue Jun 29 09:38:17 2004] [error] [client 134.53.64.177] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/webwork2/test_course/"

(If I relink /opt/webwork2 back to the PR4, at least I can see test_course, this means that apache itself has no problem).

Notice that path to test_course, which is strange,"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/webwork2/test_course"

Thanks.

It seems that WeBwork.pm does not pick up when it gets to http://servername/webwork2/test-course. Why?

<Location /webwork2>
      Options FollowSymLinks
      PerlSetVar webwork_root /opt/webwork2
      PerlSetVar pg_root /opt/pg
      <Perl>
         use lib "/opt/webwork2/lib";
         use lib "/opt/pg/lib";
      </Perl>
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlHandler Apache::WeBWorK
</Location>

Any idea?

You shouldn't have to put anything in /usr/local/apache/htdocs. This is in contrast to webwork 1. With webwork 2, part of the apache configuration has it adjust urls internally to point them to the right files.

On the other hand, you need the test_course to be at /opt/webwork2/courses/test_course . If /opt/webwork2 is a link to your copy of webwork2 which you are changing, and test_course has only been created in one of those copies of webwork, then test_course won't be visible in the other copy.

I didn't. when accessing http://servername/webwork2/test-course, it complains /usr/local/apache/htdocs/webwork2/test_course, which is not found of course.

I mean /webworks/test_course should be handled by the webwork.pm, the apache should not complain /usr/local/apache/htdocs/webwork2/test_course at all.

Currently, WW2 "declines" a request for a course that doesn't exist, which causes Apache to try to find it under the DocumentRoot. I believe this has been changed in the very latest CVS to give an explicit error message instead.

Are you able to access http://servername/webwork2/ ? Is test_course listed there?
