I am sooooooooooo glad I came across this package - I think it'll be the perfect addition to my website since everything is FREE!
Anyhow - I'm still in the experimental stage(s) of setting up classes and when I go inside of a class I click the 'Files' link and get a page not found. Am I supposed to create anything manually?
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply Martin.
Unfortunatly that didn't work either - I still got the page not found. :/
Yep - Just got done triple-checking that too. The folder is $CFG->dataroot = "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/moodle/data"; which is a folder outside my web structure and it is writeable by ALL.
OK - this has reached the level of offically driving me crazy...
my site is located at http://halelearning.no-ip.info.
When I go into my class (as Admin), under the Administration menu when I right-click the 'graphic' for files, the properties shows 'http://halelearning.no-ip.info/files/pix/files.gif' and if I right-click the link itself, the properties says 'http://halelearning.no-ip.info/files/index.php?id=2'
These paths are correct - I've even gone and given read/write access to EVERYONE to the files dir - still no go.
Can someone PLEASE point out what I am obviously missing? Also I only have ONE class in the database should the 'id=2' be correct or shouldn't that be 'id=1'.
THAT'S what's making me crazy.
It *IS* there. And so is the files/pix/files.gif. I can copy these files over to my windows machine, load the index.php into phpedit and view it and I can load the gif into any viewer and see that it's a little file folder.
I have the whole 'files' structure there - and it seems to be the only aspect of moodle I can't get to (except for uploading user graphics - but I'll tackle that AFTER the file issue.)
I even checked my version of php and it's above the minimum requirements.
OK - here's what I discovered...
I'm using an SME Server (www.e-smith.org) to run all of my stuff. When you ceate an I-Bay (Information Bay - used to hold websites and such) - it creates:
/CGI - to hold cgi programs for the website
/HTML - this is the website root.
*AND*
/FILES - holds anything else you need it to.
So what's happening is when someone tries to go to http://halelearning.no-ip.info/files/index.php it's looking in the /Files folder that the SERVER creates (not the moodle one) - and needless to say - file(s) not found. It's the way this thing sets up aliases and it's universal.
Now to fix this, I have 2 choices - 1) I can rename the moodle 'files' to 'file', go thru every file related to moodle, look for any references to 'files' and change those to 'file' or 2) find a way to locally reassign the alias 'files' to point to the moodle 'files' instead of the SME Server files. Is there a way to do that with .htaccess?
Thanks for your patience!
I was able to go into the httpd.conf file, locate the lines for moodle, '#' out the alias lines related to 'files' and voila! I have access to the files sections of the classes...
Now for the net step... Student pics.
