import test questions produces a blank page

import test questions produces a blank page

I'm trying to import questions into the Quiz section.  Categories have been created. In the class Settings block, I choose Question Bank and then Import.  All I get is a totally blank page.
I have a lot of questions that I would like to import.  I'd appreciate any help I can get for this.  Perhaps there is a direct URL that I could use to get to the import page or some other work around.

Thanks,

Bonnie

I think I am going to write an automated script so that any time someone posts to these forums saying "blank page" it will reply saying

Turn on Debugging to get an error message.

Thank you, Tim.

That was a very helpful suggestion.  I had not explored the Developer section before.

When I repeat the process of trying to import, I get this message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_course_media_files() (previously declared in /var/www/question/format/qti2/qt_common.php:18) in /var/www/question/format/qti_two/qt_common.php on line 33

Can you interpret it for me?

When I clicked Home,  I got this error  message:

parent does not exist!

Does this message affect the blank page problem?

Thanks,

Bonnie

Well if you decide seriously to work on an "automatic forum bot", don't forget to do it in a generic way : I have some ideas of automatic replies I would like to use with my students big grin
