Enter apostrophe = error editing forums

I've been testing my moodle forums and journals, and I'm having this weird problem when adding, editing, or updating. Basically, if I write "I have been testing moodle" NO problem, but if I write "I've been testing moodle ", then I get an error or could-not message. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

This means I cannot use contractions, which I guess is not that big of a deal. But, no possessives? I don't think so.

Help please.

Hello Carlos,
I've just pasted the complete text from your post into several forum posts and journal entries at my site. I used all three Formatting options and no problems...? Sometimes PHP and Quotes/apostrophes do things...just guessing there. Good Luck
John

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. You gave me an idea by telling me that you had "pasted" text from my forum. I went out of Moodle and wrote something in MS Word, then copied and pasted what I wrote into my Moodle forum. And wouldn't you know it, it worked.

Well that gives me hope and a lead to work with.

Thanks again,
Carlos

Thanks Martin. That did the trick. I created an .htaccess file that I copied from lib/htaccess and put it in the moodle directory. I overlooked this important Apache detail when I installed Moodle. Shame on me!

So far I'm very pleased with Moodle; thanks for that, too.
