You'll need to check your webserver error log for errors relevant to AutoView. Also check for javascript errors in firefox (Tools>Error console). Cut and paste the relevant output here if you don't understand the errors.

do u mean this?

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /opt/lampp/htdocs/moodle/mod/autoview/avedit/blank.avx in /opt/lampp/htdocs/moodle/mod/autoview/lib.php on line 143

ive checked in the javascript and there is no error. i have another question i have 2 different versions of moodle the Moodle 1.8.5 (Build:20080409) that is the server that we r using for the institute and the Moodle 1.8.8 (Build 20090128) for testing new modules and plugins, well the question is this. i tried to install the latest autoview in the server of the institute but i couldnt because it said that the version of moodle needs to be update.

The warning makes me think that 1 or more files in autoview have the wrong permissions. Try pointing your web browser at /mod/autoview/test.php on your moodle server. This tests that all of the files have the correct permissions on your server.

The official minimum version of Moodle for Autoview is 2007021560/1.8.6, this will change to 2007021580/1.8.8 in the next release. You can change the minimum version by editing version.php in the autoview mod to match up with the version number in 1.8.5 if you need it to work in an older version, this work.

However, I would strongly reccommend that you upgrade to the latest 1.8.x release, there are a number of security holes in the older releases which need to be patched

I don't know what OS you are using but I had to change the owner of the autoview directory on my Debian/Ubuntu server.

Do this:

sudo chown -vR www-data /var/www/moodle/mod/autoview
restart apache: sudo /etc.init.d/apache2 restart

Keep in mind that the path of your install could be different.

I came here looking for a solution and some referred to the permissions and that's how I figured it out.

Thanks.
