[Xerte-dev] Re: HELP - can't create new projects on techdis install

Ron,

Yes xdebug should be installable with xamp (I haven't done this myself as Ive got a wamp stack on my local pc for development [and it comes as standard with this]) so have a look on the net for instructions to install it.

Just to clarify if you set up the path in sitedetails to another blank file does the problem still occur (Clarify that the moodle file isn't the issue)

Hi all
I still haven't found where the problem lies but I'm a bit happier now that I can see the problem exists on xampp too so it's definitely recent code changes that have caused this problem and it's probably just the order of things killing the session but I haven't found where or why. Here's how to reproduce this locally via xampp and also what I've done on the techdis server and then repeated on xampp:

On techdis server:
Create a brand new install from the svn code with authentication set to guest
Create a new LO
Create another new LO
All working no loss of projects in workspace
Add path to moodle config in sitedetails
Refresh and create a new LO - LO is actually created but workspace clears and LO not part of authors projects

On xampp
Create a brand new install from the svn code with authentication set to guest
Create a new LO
Create another new LO
All working no loss of projects in workspace
Add path to moodle config in sitedetails (you'll obviously need moodle installed to reproduce this)
Refresh and create a new LO - LO is actually created but workspace clears and LO not part of authors projects

So - it's not a problem unique to the techdis server and is a new problem introduced by the current code. At the moment it's going to cause the same problem for anyone using moodle authentication but possibly also anyone using another system via integrationpath too.

Next question: As the problem can also be reproduced via xampp can xdebug be installed on xampp?
Going to google that now...

Pat/David/Simon
thanks for the suggestions.
Going offline and need a break from this anyway. Might revisit later tonight or might wait until tomorrow.
Cheers
Ron

Go through the two new_template files putting print_r($_SESSION) in at regular intervals followed by a "line number xxx" statement.

Then trace it with console or fiddler.

Hi again Simon
I found some instructions about installing xdebug and I'm sure I could do that but apart from use of it being beyond my comfort zone I'm very wary of going this route because this techdis server is used for other systems too. I also only have another hour to look at this right now and then I'll be offline until much later.

Is there a way of debugging without needingdebug?


Binary chopping the code with "die('got here!');" is about the best you're left with.
