Moodle in English: Sticking on assessment elements

Sticking on assessment elements

by J B - Wednesday, January 26, 2005, 1:06 AM

I have been trying to instantiate a workshop, but keep coming up against the same problem. I have deleted, downloaded and reinstalled the module, which reports success creating the mySQL database tables. I have trawled this forum to see if anyone else has had the same thing, but have found nothing that helps, so the problem is this:

If I try and include >0 assessment elements, the entry screen just keeps coming back with the fields empty. If I set the number of assessment elements to zero, I can create the workshop instance, but when a student attempts to upload a file the server seems to upload the file (seems to wait for an appropriate time) and then claims that no file was selected to upload. Any ideas?

A number of people here are experiencing similar problems with this module, so as no-one seems to be able to point to any obvious workaround, maybe we should find out common features of problematic setups.

I have had no trouble setting up workshops on Apache-based installs, but when using IIS with any of 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 using mySQL or PostGreSQL the workshop module is dead as mutton. It seems that those experiencing similar - but slightly different - problems in the "Course module is incorrect" thread are using macs, presumably with Apache, so maybe there is some server setting that we're missing. That's as far as I can get, but the module is still dead.

Here's my server info:

FreeBSD 5.3
Apache 2.0.52
PHP 5.0.2
PostGreSQL 7.4.6

I'm running Moodle 1.4.3+ (2004083132).

Let me know if I've forgotten something important, and thanks for your recommendation that we submit install details to pinpoint the problem. If I can get this fixed by Feb 28 I will be a happy man, otherwise will have to identify some ugly analog workaround for peer-reviewing.
