  Which Linux Distro is best

  Building a new Atutor server and I know while it will work on most versions of Linux. Which one is the best to install it on?

  We tend to use Ubuntu for local development and Debian for production servers. Theres a few centOS around now too. But, its a personal preference, ATutor works equally well on most (maybe all) Linux distros.

  Ok . I am planning on using CentOS . When installing the OS what other packages should I install? I know it needs Apache, PHP support, MySQL. What else is needed?

  The online exams are not working. The data base for question is OK. When i want to open the online exam by changing the date of the exam, it does not respond, and thus the exam remain expired. Can you help me to find solution for this problem?

  Re: Which Linux Distro is best?

  If you are trying to set the start and end dates for the exam by editing the test properties, I can confirm that this is working. You might try a different browser.
  
  I don't have enough info about the system ATutor is running on to troubleshoot further.
