    I successfully installed atutor, everything, works, i can creat courses etc.

    When i try to upload a file, it uploads successfully, but when i insert it as a link in the content HTML area and i click on the link i get a blank page.

    the link looks like the following:

    http://www.mydomain.org/atutordirectory/get.php/pricelist.xls

    any help here is appreciated.

    Content package?

    Was the file part of a content package?

    I was able to reproduce the blank screen but only when the file was part of an imported con tent package? For regularly uploaded files there did not seem to be a problem.

    No content package

    No, i was just trying to regularly upload a file.

    is get.php suppose to be part of my directory when i click on the file link?

    What can i do to solve this problem.

    In the meanwhile, i am going to re-install atutor and test again.

    php settings

    the following php settings are different from the recommended documentation:

    display_errors = On
    arg_separator.input = &
    magic_quotes_gpc = On
    register_argc_argv = On
    zlib.output_compression = Off
    session.use_trans_sid = Off

    Do you think this is what can be the cause of my problem? I am a bit hessitant to change any of these settings in the event that it can affect any of my other php applications.

    .

    edit the ./include/config.inc.php file and set AT_FORCE_GET_FILE to FALSE.

    then move your content directory to /atutorydirectory/content/

    get.php gets files

    Yes, get.php is supposed to be there. Since you should not be able to access files directly through a URL (assuming you have located you content directory outside your web document tree for security) get.php is used to retrieve files through the OSs file system.

    You could alternately locate the content directory within your ATutor installation and link to file directory with a full URL to the file in content directory. Though that means others could retrieve the file if the know the URL. If you're not concerned about that, then locating the content directory in your ATutor installation is not a problem. It would also make your course less portable if you decided to move or copy it.

    I was unable to reproduce the problem for regularly uploaded files. They download for me as they should through a relative link in a content page.

    See if you can reproduce the problem on our demo site:

    If you are asking for help, provide lots of detail so problems can be reproduced.

    Figured it out

    My content directory is in my default atutor directory. I dont really care about security of the uploaded files for now.

    But i re-installed atutor and now it works. The only difference is that i am using the default theme provided by atutor. Before i was using a user supplied theme that i got off the atutor website., so i think that is it. I believe the theme is Clean Blue by heidi.

    ATutor 1.5 themes

    Clean Blue is an ATutor 1.4 theme. The old themes don't work with 1.5, so that could very well have been the problem.
