Re: Podcasting: New Podcasting module

I am not sure where to move forward on this. I too get the error on the RSS feeds using this module. I have done what I thought was requested regarding .htaccess and AllowOverrides ALL, however, I am having issues with the RSS feed and iTunes. I have the error posted below. I have my main site configured to allow RSS feeds as well.

My question is:

Is this error connected to the .htaccess and the AllowOverrides ALL connection, OR should I be looking elsewhere? I have the site running on OS X Server 10.4.8 and my concern is that this is related to the OS X Server. I have Linux / Apache experience and now I have this moved to OS X.

Any help on where to look would be great.

If you click on the rss link what comes up?  I need to see the xml to further investigate.  If you download the xml then you can copy and paste the media urls in a browser to see if the media extensions are being run as php scripts or not.

I haven't installed iPodcast on my OS X server to document it yet.

Is the server public?  I would be glad to look at it if you give me a student login.

The XML file is below. All the links work if I copy and paste into the browser.
Sends me to the files. Graphics as well as podcasts.
I use FireFox and the RSS feed errors out with noting more than
"Empty" as the text and Safari has this:

Safari can’t open the page
“feed://10.1.0.78/webschool/mod/ipodcast/file.mp3?
file=/084f082007df2afc523c30326e888457/3/3092/ipodcast/4/
SDR2006-09-04_Podcast_Weekend_Summary.mp3”.
The error was: “unknown error” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1)
Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu,
note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

As you can see, I am developing on our LAN for now, however, I will post the site within a week or so.
Given what I have here and below, I am beginning to suspect my httpd.conf and the Overrides dialog.
If you think that is where I need to head, let me know, however, I do have Apache and httpd.conf set as it would appear (keyword search: appear) to be correct.
I have installed v.33 today so that is patched as of this morning as well.

(I have done a few carriage returns so that the page did not create a mess with right scowling and run off the page)


Many thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Podcasting: New Podcasting module

What is your $CFG->wwwroot set to in your moodle/config.php  ?

None of your links have a full url.

<link>/webschool</link>

Sould be

<link>http://10.1.0.78/webschool</link>;

And all the other links should follow accordingly.

The xml appears to be normal.  There are a couple of problems with it I will look at today.  But nothing that would cause it to fail besides the full url missing.

Length is empty. 

header itunes:image is slashed while item links are non slased

I will have .34 ready tonight to post with those fixes.  Hopefully by the end of the week this module will be cleaned up and stable.

Thanks

Tom
