During install (1.5 latest):
The web address does not appear to be valid - this Moodle installation doesn't appear to be there.
I've seen this error mentioned for IIS on windows, but I now get it under Linux (Slackware 9.1.0, not my own server).
The install-script does the following:
/// check wwwroot
if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
if (($fh = @fopen($INSTALL['wwwroot'].'/install.php', 'r')) === false) {
$errormsg .= get_string('wwwrooterror', 'install').'<br />';
}
}
I change the test to
if (false)
so that the install can complete
The next error is:
The admin directory specified is incorrect
I override the test
if (($fh = @fopen($INSTALL['wwwroot'].'/'.$INSTALL['admindirname'].'/site.html', 'r')) !== false) {
and the install goes smoothly.
Are these two tests really neccessary?
There do seem to be some issues with the fopen, that won't go away. It would be interesting to know if an error was generated (in your Apache error log) that might identify what went wrong.
Sorry, external web-host. I have no access to the error-log. I don't get these errors on my own servers ...
I've got the same problem, and have acces to the error-log, however there is no error in it.
