Ok this problem is likely on my end, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I got about 24 students on laptops wirelessly connected to a router in the room. On occasion when a student finishes a quiz with quizport and it is presumably switching to the next one, it comes up with something like "quizport not available. The only way to get out of this is to click back to the moodle front page, reenter the course, and resume the Quizport from the point where they had run into the problem. (There is no continue button. More about that in a new post once I check out Quizport versions.)
Could it be on my end? Could it be my server? I just switched to a new server and a higher level of php. I ran into this problem with the slower server however. Occasionally I notice that a student laptop shows something like "now connected to a wireless network. Ik kind of implies that they were momentarily not connected. However, I have not specifically been able to link this event with the "with the quizport not found" problem. But maybe this occurs just when they are switching between quizzes.
Any ideas?

Could you be precise. If possible please copy and paste the exact message.
> Could it be on my end? Could it be my server?
It is hard to say, until we know exactly what the message was.
Do you get the problem on computer connected via a cable to the LAN?

Will get tomorrow.

The one desktop is directly connected but is generally not be used for this. There are some more lan drops. I will bring some cables from home and see if those laptops run into the problem.

Re: Quizport not available when moving from one quiz to the next
Actually was able to duplicate the problem at my desktop during lunch to day at school. I set up an conditional loop with two small static html files so that I was in a continuous loop. Now it was slow going from one to the other and got after a few loops "Quiz attempt not in progress." Another one that came up today was "Unit not found." See attached.

I found one way to reproduce the above. Just hit the Continue button a couple of times fairly rapidly, let's say half a second between hits. Works every time at school or at home.

Re: Quizport not available when moving from one quiz to the next
I see. Do you think this is what your students did?
Re: Quizport not available when moving from one quiz to the next
In some cases yes. But I think this happened most of the times when a quiz was finished in a unit and it either went to the next quiz or looped back to the same quiz. And think that the one case where "Unit not found" occurred when a student was moved onto the next unit (activity). The next activity probably was because I had not carefully detailed how a Quizport unit finished up as Glenys clarified.

> one case where "Unit not found" occurred
As far as I can see, QuizPort doesn't ever produce this error. It might produce a message saying "Unit attempt not found". Is that what you mean?

Gordon,
It could be. I wrote it down quickly, may not have gotten it down correctly.

Re: Quizport not available when moving from one quiz to the next
Hi Gordon,
I too am having a problem with Quizport.
When my students finish a quizport port lesson they get this error:
"Unit attempt not in progress"
I've tried everything to resolve this.... Even deleted all previous attempts.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!!!

Gordon,
Any more thoughts on this issue? After reading Quizzes taking a long time to upload I was wondering if Delay 3 could be contributing in part to the Quiz Attempt not in progress. I notice that mine are defaulting to Use specific time (in seconds) of 02.
Thanks,
Jeff
