I have access to the management.php panel but not sure I have anything deeper than that. 2) Our technical staff have created a test server for Xerte and I'm in the process of testing it (it's 3.x - hence the question above). I can login fine, using both my LDAPped ID and using the administrator username and password. I can create a Learning Object and can create pages (I've only tried text pages so far as part of my testing plan). However, Xerte doesn't appear to save these pages, nor the content within them, and when I try to play or publish I simply get "error" - no code or information to help me troubleshoot. I've tried using Chrome (Version 54.0.2840.99 m) and Firefox (Version 50.0) so far but get the same issues. Is this me having a dull moment, or is there a setting that I need to change somewhere, or get our technicians to change?

Did they test via guest access before switching to ldap? You can switch to guest access via the management area then refresh or close all browsers and then revisit to test via guest access and eliminate the ldap configuration being part of the problem. The admin account you mention is only for the management area and doesn't work for logging in to the normal workspace.
