My issue is that we did a fresh install of 2.4 and it looks fine in IE but looks strange in Firefox ad Chrome- the lay out is pushed all the way to the left. Would appreciate assistance. Works in IE just fine.

Please test again using Standard theme. If you continue to have a problem with layout in other browsers, then please report it in Moodle Tracker.
Many thanks
Mary
Thanks for the response. We have used the standard theme since day one. Tried to use an other but it did the same thing to IE that it is doing to FireFox and Chrome. So we reloaded Moodle from Scratch. IE 10 Works but nothing els.

hmmm - I dont have IE10, but have had Moodle2.4 running for sometime, in various sub-versions and it has worked fine for me in all browsers including IE8-9, FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari and a range of OS - Win, Mac, Linux.

Richard,
Thanks for the info. Mary is checking into it as we speak. Hopefully it is something simple we forgot.

In that case Dave, I would say without a doubt that there is something wrong with your site. Be it in the way you upgraded or the server, I'm not sure.
If you could send me a link to your site via the private messaging here I could run some tests, and let you know what could be the problem.
Cheers

Hi Dave,
The problem you have is common on some servers. It all boils down to how you install Moodle. If you used a FTP client like File Zilla rather than your host companies control panel (cPanel), then this is where the problem stems from.
What has happend is that some of the PHP files have been corrupted, overwritten, or rather stripped of the formatting, and therefore rendered useless by your server.
The best way to fix this is start over again, but be sure to use the cPamel to upload the zip file and then extract it into your Moodle directory.
However before you do this check your root config.php and also the standard theme's config.php, it may just be more likely that these have been corrupted.
I hope this helps?
Mary
Further to my last comment here, Dave, you need to Purge all cache which will clear the cache on your Moodle site this will give then give you a view of the state of things in all browsers. I suspect IE is seeing an original view of the site from the beginning, and not as it really is.
Cheers

Mary,
This from my ISP.
Dave
The install zip file was downloaded directly from their site to the server using IE and whatever means they used to deliver it (FTP or HTTP).
So are you telling me Moodle was installed by your ISP? If so there appears to be some errors. It's not usual to see IE working and other themes broken in in other browsers, if anything it is the other way round.
If possible can you get me access to the site with Admin premissions?
Thanks
Mary
Mary,
We did a fresh install of the latest 2.4 and it now works in all browsers. The only issue now is a curl when we try to check for updates. No error number just a curl error message. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Dave Sanderson
Depending on what the error message actually says - the ones I was getting initially simply needed the correct directories in the moodle install opened to allow them to be written to by the webserver.
Richard
CURL is a PHP extension and needs to be enabled by your ISP. If it is not present in your version of PHP then your ISP needs to add it.

Glad you sorted the browser problem out, that was scary!
Cheers
Mary
