Possible LDAP issues after creating dev environment on same server as production

Possible LDAP issues after creating dev environment on same server as production

Hi,

I am running on LAMP with the moodle software installed in /var/www/html, moodledata is in /export/moodledata.

I could not find a step by step on how to set up a test moodle on the same server as production. I have followed these steps :

Make sure everyone is out of the system;

Use webdb to copy moodle database to moodle_dev;

Add same priviliges to moodle_dev as are in moodle;

cp /export/moodledata to /export/moodledata_dev and chown/chmod to match moodledata;

Copy /var/www/html/* into a subdirectory /var/www/html/dev;

Edit /var/www/html/dev/config.php to point at new database + wwwroot + dirroot + dataroot;

Access site at http://moodlesite/dev

We use LDAP authentication. I now get an error which can occur on either system when I try to access both dev and prod at the same time :

A server error that affects your login session was detected. Please login again or restart your browser.
( Continue )
I think this may be a browser problem as it only seems to happen if I have prod open in one browser tab and dev open in in another tab in the same browser session. If I have different browser windows it has not happened so far.

Hi John

Did you remember to set a different cookie prefix for the development server? Can you please check at Site Administration -> Server -> Session handling -> Cookie Prefix on the dev server that it is set to something different to the production server, e.g. "dev".

Any better?

Ken
