Above is What I Get when I am in my Moodle.
I am running moodle on windows with Easy PHP Wiki and it has been working good and then all of a sudden it Just started giving me this Error and I don't Know what it is
Can You Help Me...!!!!!!!
Dear Brian Hallock
That error message is the one you get when the number at the end of
http://68.168.132.115:81/moodle/course/view.php?id=5
is incorrect. Since you have courses ""5", "6," "7" and "8" if you where to enter
http://68.168.132.115:81/moodle/course/view.php?id=4
then you would see the above error. So...perhaps when you deleted course 4, perhaps for the purpose of renaming, or because it was a test course and for some reason you are being directed to it then the above error could occur.
Why would you be directed to it?
1) If you have more than one moodle then the cookie recording where you are may become overwritten so that you are directed to a course is non existant in one or other of your moodles.
There is a way of getting aroudn this, other than making sure you are only using one Moodle at a time. Please post again if you have multipe Moodles.
2) If for some reason the moodle cookie is recording that you are viewing a course that no longer exists then it may keep trying to redirect you there. *Perhaps* if you deleted one of courses 1-4 (as you must have done, I presume) while you had one of those course pages open in another browser window then there is a chance that the cookie generated by the other browser window may try to redirect you to the non existant course.
In this case I would suggest clearing all your cookies (which will mean that you will have to log in manually to all the sites that have passwords, and other inconveinces so do this as a last resort) or delete just the moodle cookie by searching for moodle in your cookies file. Moodle will soon make a new cookie for you. You will have to enter your password manually on login.
3) You are clicking on a link to a non existant course. But I doubt the problem is as simple as that.

The Problem is not simple at all because I can add and delete Course and when I add the Course then it still says invalid short course name. I can do all the other things but veiw Course the only thing that I did was delete an old Course that I had and it caused all this mess!!
I can still pick a theme add and delete users and all that other fun stuff but I can't veiw any of my Courses or do anything in them.
I was thinking maybe that the lib files are corrupt but I don't know because I can doo all the other things.
Still looking for help and will try most anything.
Thanks,
