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

You can view that in the sitedetails table John - it's clear text.
I only ever use the full install option which has fields for adding username and password. Not sure what get's added via the xampp install but I guess it'll be in the sql in the setup folder.

I thought I was reliably able to reproduce this in xampp but not sure I can now. Which is why I was wondering if it's some kind of case sensitivity issue that only applies on nix installs.

I'm about ready to start looking at the problem too but can't get into management.php to add the moodle config sitedetails. What is the username/password? I'm using XAMPP...

If nothing else it will give me an insight into how the php all works in the background...

Hi John
that's my fault :-(
in auth_config.php uncomment guest and comment static.
If you wanted to use static to see how that works the accounts are in \library\Xerte\Authentication\static.php
I'd be keen to know if you have any problems creating projects?
Cheers
Ron

Hi all,

just did an update and running XOT off XAMMP and now i'm being prompted for a login. Never had to login before, can someone let me know what the details are for the USB XOT install?

i would guess one new file exists which is outputting whitespace before the session starts

I would guess when you made auth_thingie it has either whitespace or is required before session start

I did a clean install from svn locally and all seems ok with that so I'm going to replace the whole directory apart from user-files and database.php etc and see whether that fixes it. Going to take a while though :-(

The sessions are screwed.

I can create new LOs fine, but they aren't created as me, so something is poorly in the session code somewhere.

Yes everything was ok at that point and is ok on my localhost install too.

Have turned on error reporting on http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/ but not getting any errors messages.

Not seeing anything wrong in fiddler either :-(

Had you updated after Pat checked his stuff in last week? i.e. is that what broke it? I thought you had those issues that led to the config.php being split discussions, was everything OK at that point?

I've been wasting hours on this now :-(

I updated the Techdis install with the latest svn code and now I can't create new projects.

Clicking create pops up the editor window but refreshes the workspace and then shows an empty workspace.

Seems like it's probably a session thing or something but I can't find what. Trouble is I tried reverting the code back to a previous version and still got the same problem. So now it's back to the latest code.

I can edit existing projects and add to them just can't create anything new.

Anyone else had this?
Is it a consequence of recent changes?

Cheers
Ron
