    Access to demo area 143

    Hi Greg,

    I've got 3 courses I am hoping I can salvage from the 1.4.3 demo area. Upon entering demo area today - I can no longer link to the 1.4.3 demo server and log in.

    Is this server still running and if so - how can I get those courses exported or backed up?

    My user name is ryanf on that server.

    Thanks

    corrupted zip files from demo 1.4.3

    Thanks for access to the old demo server. I was happy to be able to backup that content.

    I was able to dowload both ims packages as well as atutor course backup files off the 143 demo server. The problem is that I can't upload the content or restore backups. The zip files (backup and IMS) appear to be corrupt.

    The message i recieve on my local Atutor 1.5 xamp installation is upon backup restore (restore.php) is:

    'Error : PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature'

    Subsequently, I received the following message from winzip when attempting to open any of the zip files manually:

    "End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a Zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part Zip file."

    Attached is one of the archives I downloaded.

    I am sure that your efforts arenot focused on the old 143 demo server as you roll out 1.5. I am still hoping to get some valid archives off that server.


    Things to describe:
    operating system -xp
    version of ATutor -1.5 locally - backups from 1.4.3 demo server
    versions of php -passed
    version of mysq l -passed
    webserver & version -passed
    copies of error messages -see above
    changes to default settings -none
    web browser being used -ie6
    and anything else relevant -user name on 143 demo is ryanf

    Works for me

    I had no problem creating a backup in the old demo then restoriung it in the new demo. It could be an XP issue. There are known problems with XP support for zxip formats.

    Try again on a different system.

    In the demo site, login with the demo default users and open the course Planification

    BTW, this is not a good place to be creating courses. it get cleaned out fairly regularly. Use courses.atutor.ca.
