I have the same problem. At ATutor installation step #3 (super administrator account setup), any/all passwords are rejected with the message "Administrator password cannot be empty".

Replace the default and default15 themes with fresh copies from atutor.ca
http://www.atutor.ca/atutor/themes/index.php
2008-02-23 14:58:04
OK, here's what I did:
Under Linux Lighttpd web server, deleted 2 directories "/srv/www/htdocs/atutor/themes/default" and "/srv/www/htdocs/atutor/themes/default15".
downloaded fresh default.zip and default15.zip files from www.atutor.ca modules page on 02/23/2008.
unzipped the files to create new default and default15 directories.
dropped MySQL atutor database.
started atutor installation again using //localhost/install/install.php.
Same problem.

I get the same problem. The error seems to be caused by the execution of the
encrypt_password() function in the javascript code of the sha-1factory.js file.
if one looks at the code of the function the lines
document.form.admin_password.value = "";
document.form.account_password.value = "";
empty the value in the input fields of type password. Obviously upon submission the fields will no longer hold a value and the application no longer receives the data. I haven't looked at the processes that validate form data on the php script of the installation procedures, but it's only logical that the form will send empty values to the server and whichever validation procedure is used is expecting those values to hold data.
The question is, although it might imply certain security risks during installation, whether the javascript code can be commented out, thereby leaving the form values unaffected, or whether the encrypted values have to be set within the form. In the latter case, could you please provide a solution to modify the javascript file.

My question regarding this is whether it
2009-07-31 12:37:48
You would not be able to login if you disable sha1-factory. There are thousands of systems running without any problems. My guess is something else is causing the problem, like javascript disabled, or maybe an outdated theme if you have a custom theme.
Try a different browser. Try installing on a different system.

It's Ivan again. Just to make sure I explained myself clearly, I think the problem is not caused on the server side but on the client side, as my browser throws an error on line 26 of the install.php page, as parsed by the browser. In other words, this seems to be a client side problem, namely on the javascript encrypt_password() function, which in turn runs the hex_sha1 function of the sha-1factory.js file.
Now, I'm installing the application from a Windows XP SP3 machine with IE8. I also tried using chrome and FF, with the same unfortunate results.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Download a fresh copy and try again.
There have been issues with Sourceforge downloads over the past week, with files not downloading fully, or being corrupted.
2009-07-31 12:47:58
Wow, that was amazingly quick! Thanks. I was writing my second message as you probably were sending your reply, so please don't think I didn't understand your post, I just hadn't read it.
Back to the discussion, I'll try your suggestions above. To make sure I understand properly, you suggest
a) I try using the default theme.
b) Modify the js browser settings.
c) leave the sha1-factory.js untouched
Cheers for the help.

Again, you're fast!!! English is my third language, so I am a slow writer, I take my time trying to be clear.
2009-07-31 12:50:31
I'll try downloading again, see what happens. I'll be back if I find problems.
Thx
2009-07-31 14:41:07
Thanks for the advice, it worked wonders!!! Simply download the package, use FF and not Chrome or IE. That's all.

I can't find my last reply here, so I'll do it again.
Greg's advice worked wonders. Thanks Greg. All that was needed was to download again the package. I didn't try IE or Chrome. FF was my first choice and it worked smoothly.

post installation
#1 Do I have to delete any directories, such as the install?
#2 Do I have to modify permissions on the content and config.inc.php files?
Thx.

1. you can delete the install directory
2. yes, as instructed by the installer when you get to the content directory step.
see the instructions:
