Install problems

Hello Tim
Installing in Moodle 1.9 I have had this message:

Tried to modify database, but "Library/WebServer/Documents/Moodle19/mod/autoview/db/mysql.sql" doesn't exist!
autoview tables could NOT be set up successfully!


Any help will be much appreciated
Paolo

This is usually a file permissions problem.

Check that the module directory, sub directories and all the files they contain are readable by the webserver process. The db/mysql.sql file isn't actually needed by Moodle 1.9 (it hasn't been needed since at least 1.7). However, Moodle still seems to throw this error if it can't access the db directory of a new module. It ought to be saying that the directory is unreadable, but dosn't.

I had the same problem. I have no idea why it worked, but here's how i fixed it :

In moodle 1.9

1. Go to the Misc. option in the administration menu and choose XMLDB editor. At the top of the page click the "TEST" link.

2. Go to Modules -> Activies -> Manage activities, then delete autoview.

3. Click on Notifications to re-install autoview.

Should now work..

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,
