Alas! I rejoiced too soon... Even a fresh re-installation of another Moodle package did not really solve my problem of PHP/Moodle not displaying images. What happens is most strange: it works just for ONE session, then the bug comes back.
If I re-install for example Windows4Moodle on my Windows XP machine, then I can display images for the time of one session. If I close the Apache server and relauch it later on, no images!
Any idea, anyone, of where the bug comes from?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Petr and thanks for your reply.

I finally managed to solve all the problems I mentioned in my 2 previous posts by

1. completely un-installing Apache, PHP, EasyPHP, Moodle from my Windows-XP machine
2. installing instead the Windows4Moodle package kindly provided by Eloy Lafuente (see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=13413&parent=70019)

Maybe I had developed a kind of problem with my previous installations (and re-installations) of the standard Moodle 1.4 package. Anyway, the only thing I no longer have with Windows4Moodle is EasyPHP, but I don't really need it.

Hello! Further to my previous post I have to report that things are getting worse with my local installation of Moodle 14.

1. Images served by my Apache server are still not displayed.
2. And now I notice that my javascript scripts located in .js libraries called by resources which are uploaded web pages give random "script errors" warnings - even though they are error-free.

OK, something must be wrong with my Apache or php intallation (sorry, I'm not conversant enough with these environments to tell the difference). But what I don't understand is that the very same courses, images & javascripts work fine in Moodle 1.5 and go all wrong in Moodle 1.4, on the same machine, with the same Apache & php settings.

I know such problems are hard to replicate, maybe no-one has ever experienced the pb described, but I would be very grateful if one of the php/Apache/moodle dev gurus would advise me on what to do.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Eloy!
Thanks for making your Moodle4Windows package available. It saved my day when I recently started to experience serious problems with my "normal" Moodle 1.4 package installation (on my home computer, for testing purposes).
After completely deleting Apache, php, Moodle from my Windows XP machine & instaling Moodle4Windows instead, everything worked fine again!

I have, however, one remark and 2 questions re your package:

1. The readme_en.txt readme file which accompanies your package is confusing, because the installation process described is different from the one you describe in your Moodle post dated 3 Nov 2004. I however managed to overcome that.
2. In that same readme_en.txt you refer to an \xampplite directory, and to PHPMyAdmin 2.5.7 but neither that directory nor that application seem to be present in Moodle4Windows. Why is that?
3. I would like to test Moodle4Windows on an usb stick. I have copied the whole Moodle4Windows directory to a 64Meg stick (removing unwanted language modules). I have started xampp_start.exe from that key (g: on my machine)... but it seems that http://127.0.0.1/moodle/ still refers to my moodle installation on my hard disk C: ..... how can I make it "go" to the usb key on G: ?
   

Thanks again,

Hello Fred and all!

I need to do this too: resetting lesson grades. Is it at all feasible without having to go to the mySql (I am not an administrator) ?
