    New ATutor installation

    Hi,

    Hoping that other atutor users can help me solve this one!

    Just installed V1.3, go to the first login screen, http://localhost/iainc/ATutor/login.php where the screen asks me to log into the 'Control Centre'.

    When I enter 'instructor' and 'instructor', I get redirected to 'http://localhost/iainc/ATutor/bounce.php?course=0' and the following message appears 'No such course ID found', which makes sense because the Welcome Course is labelled as 1 in the database.

    I've tried changing the URL strings to point to course 1, so that I can then go to the /users/admin.php script, but so far no luck..

    Any help would be greatly appreciated ::confused::

    Thanks in advance...

    See ATutor HowTo:

    I don't see anything in your message that would lead me to the problem. Have you looked for answers in ATutor HowTo?

    Also read Help us Help You, the first thread in this forum.

    Same symptom...more info

    I'm seeing the same behavior described above...I'll try to provide more detail for t-shooting...

    WinXP Pro (all SPs and patches) and using IE
    Just downloaded and installed PHP 4.3.4 (with their Windows Installer)
    Just downloaded and installed MySQL 4.0.16
    Created the db, imported the schema (seems fine...I can query with mysqlc)
    Updated config.inc.php with db username 'root' and no password (yes, I'll go back and change that... :) and db name of 'atutor' )
    When I log in with instructor/instructor, I get the same error description "No such course ID found".
    I suspect that I'm not connecting to the database, but running all of the mysql tools, the db is there and looks good (standard port 3306). Does the fact that I can log in with instructor/instructor actually tell me/us that we are connected to the db?? If so, I'm stumped... If this doesn't verify db connectivity, is there another way to do that?

    I have been looking through the howto and it describes the screen that I should be seeing but I'm not getting to it to select the next steps. Obviously, I can't get to the Admin login until I get my regular user signon working.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated...I'll look for a post here...hopefully someone's online tonight...

    Try adding a coruse id

    Try accessing ATutor through the bounce page with the default course explicitly defined. Like this.

    http://localhost/ATutor/bounce.php?course=1

    Same problem here

    Hi,

    i've got the same problem. Using windows XP prof, Atutor 1.3, mysql 4.0.16, php 4.3.3, apache 1.3.29. Everything seems to work just fine. Exept I also get redirected the whole time. I checked the Atutor Howto but I could find nothing in there which could help me.

    Using the direct link 'localhost/ATutor/bounce.php?course=1' will get me back at 'localhost/atutor/login.php'.

    Does anyone know ::confused:: ?

    Thanx.

    Paul

    course=0

    I couldn't reproduce this on Win2k, php 4.3.0.

    Course=0 is correct. It means redirect into the Control Centre. For some reason the if-statement at line 53 in bounce.php is failing or the redirect isn't happening.

    additional feedback and comments are welcome. a URL to a phpinfo() page may help.

    Still battling with it...

    Hi everyone,

    I'm still having trouble getting ATutor 1.3 to run on my current configuration.

    It's particularly baffling, because 1.1 did and still does install easily, but I'm particularly looking forward to playing with the IMS content packaging functions in 1.3...

    I'm Running W2K, with PHP 4.22, apache web server 1.3, and MySQL 3.2.

    Whenever I try and log into the control centre, with either the default details of 'admin' and 'admin', or with a new user account, I am redirected to http://localhost/iainc/ATutor/bounce.php?course=0, which I gather from the other posts should be the control centre location.

    I have tried changing this string to both bounce.php?course=1 and login.php?course=1, but both just redirect back.

    I don't believe that this can be a MySQL problem, as when I enter the wrong log in details the system notices. If I had to stick money on, I'm sure that it's something within the PHP configuration file that needs changing to suit ATutor (like register_globals), but I've already changed that one with no results.

    I've tried posting my particular installation on our company website, but the hosting company we use is still on PHP 4.04, so version 1.3 won't run on it.

    I've uploaded a copy of my php_info page from my localhost server at the following URL http://www.pttsolutions.com/iain/phpinfo()_localhost.mht

    I hope that helps someone to point me in the right direction with this mystery...

    Thanks everyone,

    Iain

    See the new install instructions

    Check to see that session cookies are enabled in your browser, and in php.ini.


  • 2003-12-01 17:04:55

    url

    if someone could send us a URL to an installation with a phpinfo page somewhere we'd take a look.

    it sounds very much like a session problem. make sure sessions are working and being saved (look in \windows\temp ).

    in IE set cookies to prompt and see if they're being sent and saved.

    try seeing what happens when auto-login is enabled: CAREFUL you may get stuck in an infinite loop as you logout and in again.. etc.. (this bug was fixed in 1.3.1)

    we still can't reproduce this problem so we really need a URL to the installation.

    Upgrade fixed it

    Hi everyone,

    Although I'm still not sure exactly what the problem was with the installation, but upgrading from PHP 4.22 to PHP 4.31 seems to have done the trick...

    Wahoo....!!!

    firewall

    if there is a firewall in the background, you should it disable.
    bye.


  • 2004-02-16 11:36:40

    I still have this problem

    The one Iain describes. I'm running ATutor on a local server with XP Home, PHP 4.3.4 and Apache 1.3.

    Whenever I login I just get the login screen back and the message No such course ID found.

    Any help?

    Marc


  • 2004-02-16 15:48:02

    Login to conrol center

    Login to:
    http://your.server.com/ATutor/

    or where ever ATutor is lovated, without any added URL info


  • 2004-02-20 04:36:23

    Misunderstanding?

    When I type localhost/Atutor/ in the address bar all i get is a listing of the files in this directory, not a login screen.

    So I suppose I am doing something wrong.

    Your Web Server is Misconfigured

    Modify the DirectoryIndex line in your Web server's httpd.conf to include index.php. Something like this:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html


  • 2004-02-20 11:12:17

    Sorry

    I reconfigured the webserver and now the login window pops up when I open localhost/atutor/.

    However, after logging as admin in the login window pops up again, with all fields blank. After logging in as an ordinary user I get "no such course id found".

    I hope you have a solution for this and I would like to add that your prompt support is appreciated very much.

    Access the Control Centre

    Try accessing the Control Centre first, rather than trying to access a course.

    use:
    http://www.myserver.com/ATutor/
    (or wherever the top of your ATutor installation is)

    Did you create the Welcome course and the default instructor account when you installed?


  • 2004-03-15 04:31:52

    I installed but...

    I installed 1.3.3 but even after successful installation I keep getting... "ATutor does not appear to be installed. Continue on to the installation."

    Yiu can view the server PHP info at:

    http://admin.astringonmyfinger.com/phpinfo.php

    I have tried to login using Safari 1.2 and IE 5.2 on a mac and I keep getting..."ATutor does not appear to be installed. Continue on to the installation."

    Installation was at: http://www.sbishere.com/ATutor

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Config parse error

    There is a parse error in include/config.inc.php. Have a look at the file to see if you can id the problem at about line 48.

    Try reinstalling...

    Your phpinfo page is only accessible with a password...

    tried to reinstall

    It seems to be a Step 4 error... could the "dbm.sbishere.com@localhost" be the error? why would it add the @ symbol?
