Hi
I have just installed a 1.5 Moodle installation at http://trainingbeta.servehttp.com:81/moodle
alongside my existing installation on the same address but on port 80
I thought everything was fine but if I try to restore a backed up course, the submit buttons ignore the specified port and send me to the original site.
I've specified the port in config.php, and all seems fine everywhere else.
Any ideas?
Anthony
Thanks for the quick reply. I need them on completely seperate machines as one of them is fairly critical
I'd forgotten about session variables, so thanks for that.
I've since spotted that backup and restore both have the same behaviour of ignoring the port.
I understand what you're saying, and I'd like to do it that way too, but my boss insists that the development server be physically seperate from the live server.
I'm also having problems with moodlelib.php that I thought was the extra lines in config.php problem, but it isn't

Seems to be a cookie problem, but I'm stumped
The headers already sent thing is a common problem. There should be an explanation if you click on the highlighted text in your, or this, forum post. If, as I think you suggest, you've already ruled this out, then there was fix put into CVS recently that fixed a cookie problem with the Login Block, maybe that is the cause.
My answer to your original question is the same as Howard's i.e. don't do that. But I think Howard got the idea that you were running two instances on the same machine (a perfectly normal thing to do, though most people give them different URLs). In fact, it seem that you are running them on two different machines. The question then is why you don't give the two machines different names e.g. www.yourmoodle.com and test.yourmoodle.com and leave both on port 80.
Hope that helps, at least a little bit.
