I wanted to write this post for two reasons:
- to remind everybody that we (the Dokeos company) continue to vaguely support this mode because we understand it is still more practical when installing it on a free/cheap hosting server
- to help you avoid the tricky issue in the installation process when deciding which main db name to use

Terrible stuff. I know that you've inherited this from Claroline but still.. I made a mistake and installed it on single db. Now windows is choking with so many files in one directory.
Maybe someday you can change it and use a decent 1 db solution with fixed num. of tables.
There are two good news for you :-)
1) there is a script available on our wiki to move from single to multiple database (it involves a little work, but makes the complicated stuff for you, at least on a Linux server): http://www.dokeos.com/wiki/index.php/Databasemigration_from_singledb_to… (see "second version" preferably)
2) Dokeos 2.0 will return Dokeos to a good single database design (release planned for 2009)
