General help

Hi All,

I've been helping Drew out with his www.merapolis.com moodle site, which is hosted on easyspace (ugh!).

I did an upgrade last night from 1.1.1 to 1.3 release, and all went swimmingly (once I had sorted out a recalcitrant .htaccess file that was stomping forbidden errors all over the place).

However there is an odd problem. I can't get the HTML editor to work. It is enabled in the main configuration, and in all of the user profiles. But nothing appears, just the usual text box.

So I switched on debug, and got the following:

"Warning: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /www.merapolis.com/lib/moodlelib.php on line 2142"

So, something appears to be stripping it out. Hence moodle can't determine what browser I've got and so defaults to web forms.

I left debug switched on, logged out, then went to the login page and saw this:

"Warning: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in /www.merapolis.com/login/index.php on line 99"

Now normally if I saw this I'd think that it was a firewall getting in the way...but I'm not having any difficulty using the HTML Editor on this system, and I have secure forms running in my personal moodle and have no difficulty logging on there. I'm currently connecting from teh University network and am having no difficulty with other moodles.

So what do you think might be happening here?

I tried a clean install of Moodle 1.3 (2004052500) just in case, but it has made no difference.

I don't actually think it is a moodle problem as such, but has anyone heard of ISPs stripping out HTTP_USER_AGENT and HTTP_REFERER before?

Drew's moodle is up and running fine as far as I can see...but they simply can't use the editor until this is sorted out. I suggested that Drew have a word with easyspace, in case they have any ideas...or am I barking up the wrong tree?
