I am running Moodle on a unix-based site that was upgraded to 1.8.+ 2 months ago. Everything has been running great until this week.
I need to import a large number of course elements from an existing course to a new course under development. I opened the new course as the administrator, and chose Import. I was able to select the "source" course from which I need to import. The list of elements opens, sorted by type, and I can select all the stuff I need. But when I click Continue, all I get is a screen titled Choose a Course at (myurl)/backup/backup.php! Thinking perhaps I need to then select the destination course, I selected the dev course, but that just dropped me into the normal backup module routine!
As a test, I have tried perform normal backups on both the source and destination courses, selecting "all". When I click Continue, I get the same "Choose Course" page!
What is going on? I am under a terrible time crunch and absolutely must get this working by next week!
Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?
Am I just overlooking something simple (or complex)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
