    No more Tests after Update

    We had ATutor 1.4.1 running and updated it to 1.4.3 recently. The Update itself went through with no problems. But since then it is not possible for our students to absolve "Tests & Surveys". The student can perform the test and send it, they are also to be found or updated in the database in the table "at_tests_answers" and in "at_tests_results". But neither the student sees them in the "Completed Tests & Surveys"-Table (there is "No Results Yet" for all Lessons) nor the instructor in the "Test & Survey Manager" (no submissions for all Lessons).

    We have the following configuration:

    - Server: Windows 2000 Server, all updates
    - Apache 1.3.33
    - PHP 4.3.6
    - MySQL 4.0.16-nt
    - No changes to default settings have been made

    Anyone any idea?

    Thanks,
    Mario

    Windows woes

    This sounds like the database was not correctly updated. I would suggest comparing the structure of the ATutor database on your server, through phpMyAdmin or a similar mysql front end, and see if it mataches the database structure listed in the install/db/atutor_schema.sql for ATutor 1.4.3.

    If there are missing tables or fields within tables, in many cases to can create them manually to fix the problem. Also look at the files "atutor_upgrade_1.4.1_to_1.4.2.sql" and "atutor_upgrade_1.4.2_to_1.4.3.sql" to see the changes that have occured in the database. You may be able to copy the test related sql queries into phpMyAdmin and run them to update the database.

    Always take backups before you attempt an upgrade, or before you use any of the suggestions above.

    Solved

    OK, the solution was something different. The instructor told me that she found a button "Release test results" or something and now everything is as it should be (don't ask me :D).

    Thanks,
