    The system preferences menu results in the following error message:

    There is no "save" button on this page...

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    Just curious, are u hosting this locally or from a hosting firm?

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    It is on a hosting firm.

    Verson 1.6.0 runs fine, though.

    BTW, I probably should have posted this in the bugs forum (which I've now done). Sorry about that....

    nah don't worry.


    Sometimes, hosting firm blocks off some of the PHP functions for security reasons. In this case, i think it's blocking off apache_get_modules().

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    if you have access to the php.ini file, look for

    disable_functions = ....

    and take apache_get_modules() out from there.

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    phpinfo says:

    disable_functions=no value, no value (local, master)

    php.ini says:
    disable_functions =

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    hm.. Not sure why the function is not found on your end. If you want to enable apache_get_modules(), you may want to contact your host.

    In any case, it shouldn't halt on the fatal error. I have fixed this in the 1.6.1-pl1.

    I will post the pl1 up soon.

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    Pl1 is now ready to download. http://www.atutor.ca/atutor/download.php


    Thanks for the report.

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    Thanks a lot for the fix!

    It would not upgrade my existing 1.6.1 installation, though - complaining that the existing installation is not older that the pl1....

    Is it best to delete the old installation and start new with the pl1?

    Re: 1.6.1 System Preferenses broken?

    Actually, for this problem, it would be okay if you just replace all the files without going through the installation again.

    Though, I would recommend you to redownload it from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/atutor/ATutor-1.6.1_pl1.tar.gz.

    Earlier, sourceforge did something funny to the file I uploaded, and I am not sure if it was linked to an old file.

    This link is definitely the pl1 file though.
