The user database is only created if you choose Db as authentication
method in auth_config.<br>
<br>
Then, you can also manage the users through the management.php
'users' page.<br>
<br>
You can also set $development to true temporarily on line 26 of
config.php. That should give you an indication of what goes wrong
when you export.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Evening Tom,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First of all a Big Thank you for your
work. As a small gesture of appreciation I have produced
a document describing how to upload Learning Objects
directly, via FTP, webDav etc. If you think it will be
useful, please put it somewhere appropriate on the
Community web site. It would be good if you (and
others?) looked it over, in case I have made some
mistakes or you feel things could have been explained a
little better.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was an ‘interesting’ experience,
and I learnt a number of lessons that may help others.<o:p></o:p></p>

style="mso-list:Ignore">1)<span style="font:7.0pt
"Times New Roman""> </span></span><!--[endif]-->My
website is hosted in Germany (I believe) by 1&1
Internet. They offer quite a restricted interface
compared with some others that I have seen and I think
that there is a ridiculously long period in which pages
are cached by the server. For no reason that I can think
of, Tom’s new code (replacing the ‘fault’ occasioned by
not having a temporary upload file specified in php.ini
with a ‘warning’) did not seem to work. Furthermore any
changes that I made (e.g. trying to FORCE it to go to
page1.php by commenting out just about everything else),
didn’t work either, so I suspect the output had been
cached by the server (I flushed the browser cache). So I
just went straight to page1.php. It might be a good idea
to add a link to this at the bottom, rather than using
the ‘submit’ button.<br>
In any event generating a fault or warning of this kind
is probably not necessary. Because I wanted to do a
clean installation in order to test it out, I had to
re-import my existing LOs as .zip files and they all
worked well, provided they were less than the
ridiculously low level set by 1&1. But of that more
anon…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"
style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span
style="mso-list:Ignore">2)<span style="font:7.0pt
"Times New Roman""> </span></span><!--[endif]-->The
next problem I encountered was to do with database.php.
1&1 do not allow you to choose the name of your
database and give it a thoroughly unmemorable and easily
mistyped name and the same for the managing account. I
tried to copy and paste them from the web page but, in
doing so, inadvertently copied an extra space at the end
of the database name. Although I went back via the
browser and re-entered it correctly, the installer still
had the pesky space and I had to get rid of it by
editing database.php. Would it be possible to overwrite
any existing database.php with a new one every time the
data is re-submitted , because I’m sure other users
could also make this mistake.<o:p></o:p></p>

style="mso-list:Ignore">3)<span style="font:7.0pt
"Times New Roman""> </span></span><!--[endif]-->The
final problem I had was uploading some LOs. I’m sure it
was size related, but the generic failure message about
only accepting zip files threw me for a few minutes. I
would like to suggest that the upload script checks to
make sure that the size of the object to be uploaded is
less than ‘max_file_uploadsize’ (or whatever the php
variable is called), before attempting the upload and
warns the user that they will have to transfer the data
manually if it is.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because of problem #3 I documented
the process of FTP’ing data directly up to Toolkits as
described in the attached document.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I should point out that this could be
quite an issue because many smaller organisations are
either using the free JANET-hosted web servers, or other
commercially hosted ones which have locked down php.ini
files which they will not change, so some or all of
these points may have relevance to a significant number
of other users.<o:p></o:p></p>
