  Installs fine but cant create course

  OS: Scientific Linux 6.3 32-Bit
  ATutor version 2.1.rc2
  XAMPP for linux 1.81
  
  Installed and had the $_FILES problem (5069) and fixed that. Now I have this problem when logging in as an instructor:
  
  Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /opt/lampp/htdocs/ATutor/include/vitals.inc.php on line 191
  
  Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _POST in /opt/lampp/htdocs/ATutor/mods/_core/courses/lib/course.inc.php on line 48
  
  I also get this if I log in as super admin and then click on create course.

  There is an old referecne in vitals that can be removed:
  
  at about line 191change
  
  [php]
  
  $myLang =& $languageManager->getMyLanguage();
  
  [/php]
  
  to
  
  [php]
  
  $myLang = $languageManager->getMyLanguage();
  
  [/php]
  
  We're looking into the other problem.

  To resolve the second error, replace the course.inc.php file with a copy from the code repository.

  If you are asking for help, provide lots of detail so problems can be reproduced.
  
  both of your solutions worked great!
  
  Thanks Greg!

  Re: Installs fine but can't create course

  I would guess you are working with PHP 5.4. You should revert back to 5.3* or earlier if you can. Or, you can replace the forums.inc.php file with a fresh copy from the repository. There are a variety of issues running ATutor with PHP 5.4.
