Support: Install problem

Install problem

Hi I just installed AutoView (an awesome module BTW), and I noticed some permissions problems, many files installed as 640 which I changed to 644, and many directories as 750 which I changed to 755.

When I accessed admin, the tables all installed properly, but when I tried to invoke the editor the left hand frame came up with the following type error in every button:

en:e_xxxx not found for example en:e_sources not found

And at one point I saw an error message about not setting the language, although my moodle admin/language page says it defaults to english.

I installed in Moodle 1.82 and all the xml libraries seem to be present in the PHP(info) page list.

Perhaps I am missing some step in the proper use of AutoView??

Our server only needs group permissions not global permissions in it's webtree, so I don't always notice if global permissions get removed when building distros for download.

I suspect that the en:e_xxxx problem is being caused by the same permissions issue you describe above. In this case avedit/lang/en.js needs to have suitable permissions for your server.

Hi Tim,

I have Moodle 1.9 installed on RHEL 4 with PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 2.11. I am getting following message when I try to install AutoView module.

autoview

Tried to modify database, but "/var/www/html/moodle/mod/autoview/db/mysql.sql" doesn't exist!

autoview tables could NOT be set up successfully!

Could you please help me install this module?

Thanks,

Hardik Panchal

Only just spotted this message, so if you still have this problem....

Not sure why you're getting this error, Moodle 1.9 shouldn't need this file, it's not been needed since the xml database schemeas were introduced in 1.7. AutoView dosn't support versions of Moodle before 1.7.

There must be a bug somewhere in Moodle 1.9 (which is still in beta) which is causing it to look for this file. I don't have Moodle 1.9 running here and probably won't install it until an official release is made, but if the bug is still aparant in the final release of Moodle 1.9 i'll look into it.

I had the same problem, and apparently there was a problem with 'db' directory permissions. Here is how I fixed it :

1. change 'db' directory permission to 755

2. install autoview as describes on how to install

3. change back 'db' directory to 754 (default)

Rgds,

Budi
