We are using Moodle 1.5.1. I have the problem in which I cannot open students' uploaded assignments with Internet Explorer 6.0. Curiously I can open them with Mozilla Firefox.
The error message I get is: Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
David,
I'm having the same problem with Internet Explorer--did you figure out a fix?

Does it ask you to save the file?Mine was off as well. As of this morning, we are using http for general site usage and switching to https for the logins. That has been working pretty well.

I'm not using HTTPS, but when I try to download an assignment saved in Word or Publisher (forgive me!), I get an option to save or open. If I open, I get a Word error saying that the file could not be found. It gives a snippet of a path at the end which points to the local hard drve. Is I opt to save, it saves fine.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
