Can't add an administrator

by Mark Woodward - Tuesday, January 27, 2004, 5:04 PM

I've got Moodle up and running, and everything looks just fine...except: When I try to add an administrator (or anything that uses this same screen with the arrows) if I click on the arrow next to the person...I get a 'page not found' error.

I refreshed the page to see if in fact the person got added as an administrator, but it doesn't look like it. I believe the page it is calling is 'user' with different options like add=4 or some such.

All other screens seem to work ok, but this one is somewhat crucial...thanks in advance.

Is your config.php havin a correct WEB SITE LOCATION?

this variable is correctly filled?

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://yoursiteaddress.yourhost.com

If no, set it up and try again... If yes post another message and I'll help you further

Good Luck & Have a nice day

Well, it looks to me like it's set up properly...and everything else seems to work fine. The page that errors out is http://admin/admin.php?add=4

Souhail, are you still here? As I mentioned, it looks to be pointing to the root just fine, but I'm still unable to add an administrator (or any other position on that screen) ?? What else can I check, or can I go in and "force" it in the database?
