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

[Ron Mitchell]

that's already in place in auth_config.php

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.

 

David.
