[Xerte-dev] Re: CETIS13

[Thomas Rochford]

Hi,

 

Yes, I'm hoping to be there. I'm currently planning to arrive on the morning
of the 12th.

I'ld like to talk about Xerte 1.9 installation issues with someone. I've now
had two problems with separately hosted installations.

 

1&1 Linux-based - The 1.9 mysql installation scripts won't run because of a
'syntax error'. This seems to be related to the possible interpolation of a
"\n" in the script in the misled of the 'pointer reference'  -
"toolkits-site->". The syntax error shows the command terminating at the '-'
which, maybe co-incidentally, is the point at which the command is split in
the text input area on the setup configuration page. Is this something to do
with an attribute for these input boxes which is interpreting a line break
as "\n" rather than straight wordwrap?

 

Version 1.8 installs, OK on 1&1 but then I find I cannot actually view any
templates when I reload 1.9 on top of it. Maybe this is because these are
being handled differently and it can't find them with the old site details.
As soon as I try to run setup, the same problem as mentioned in the previous
paragraph occurs. I'm using the current, January 2013, version from the
Nottingham website.

 

EZPC Linux based - EZPC provide a very cheap hosting service for moodle. I
tried installing XoT alongside and the server point blank refuses to view
the setup files, returning a 403 error, 'access denied' to setup-config.php.
I've asked the client to take this up with EZPC but I thought I'ld mention
it here in case other people have reported similar problems.

 

I need to put in some more time on both problems, but finding sufficient
time to sit down and concentrate on one problem is proving increasing
difficult!

 

Kindest Regards,

Thomas

Is anyone planning on attending CETIS13? Pat and I will be there, and
wondered if there was an opportunity for a xerte huddle?
