Wrong links and paths within the ATutor system
Hi there,
I'm experiencing the following problem(s):
(note: I sent the configuration files to the atutor email adress provided in the help us to help you file
I installed Atutor locally on my machine for a student elearning platform evaluation, using apache, mysql locallly. There was no problem with the installation process itself. Now, when I log into Atutor and the system loads the demo course I created, some URL (links) to pages within the system are not build in the right syntax (url parts contain " and \ ) and some links contain no index.php url part.
examples:
http://localhost/atutor/help/?g=18
(no index.php before the ?)
http://localhost/"/atutor/index.php?enable=PREF_EDIT\"
(??? which leads to apache error message:
Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /"/atutor/index.php on this server.)
http://localhost/"help/about_help.php/"
(same problem)
http://localhost/atutor/?cid=2&g=7
(no index.php)
I added the entry "index.php" in the httpd.conf file of apache in the rule:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
just to test the system at all. before that there was no way to access nearly all of the systems pages because index.php was not part of the url (not with all links but with most of them). Adding this rule into the server conf. can't be the answer to that problem, can it?
What can I do?
I am stuck! ;-)
