Thank you very much, editing env.sh and "source env.sh" solved my config 
problem.

I changed the field length from 2500 to 250 in the model and now it 
works with mysql.

I have one Problem persisting: I am not able to export to objavi. When 
pressing "Publish this book", the status bar "Your books is being sent 
to Objavi  ..." (should be "book", shouldn't it?) is advancing, but when 
it is apparently finished, nothing happens. Where is the exported book 
supposed to be stored? Or do I have to install my own version of objavi?

Thank you very much for your time,

Claus
