      • Test installation on a normal database
      • In mysql alter the auto increment offset (google it) and test an installation - check you get the notice but things still install fine
      • Either set up a multimaster replication system or hack install.php line 159 and add a couple of users between guest and admin - check you get notices and things still install fine.
      • Run functional DB tests - just cause you can.

    Description

      We array replicate our MySQL server to a co-located backup server. In order to further avoid index collisions, we offset the auto-incrementing (1 server uses odds, the other uses evens). However, while installing Moodle 2.0.3, it throws the exception "Unexpected new admin user id!" if the $admin->id is not 2 ( line 176 in lib/db/install.php ). There is a continue button below this, but when clicked it brings up two errors: "Config table does not contain version, can not continue, sorry." and "Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: block_manager has not yet loaded the blocks, to it is too soon to request the information you asked for."
