I can't explain the no directory tree - I can't even see a call in the LAMS logs to indicate that Moodle has asked for the data.

I've set up my local copy of LAMS to use the Chamelon theme, just in case it is the theme causing problems but apart from the missing LAMS icon I haven't spotted any different behavior due to the theme.

But, I think the URL that Moodle is using to access LAMS is wrong. I don't understand how it could have gone wrong overnight, but that's what the logs indicate.

There is an entry in your log for:

127.0.0.1 - - [29/Mar/2007:12:53:09 +1000] "GET /lams%20/LoginRequest?uid=gjhugs&method=author&ts=March+29%2C2007+12%3A52+pm&sid=......

The "lams%20" bit suggests that in your Moodle configuration screen there is a space after "lams". Could you go into the Moodle LAMS v2 module admin screen and make sure there are no spaces after the server_url, server_id or server_key fields. If there are spaces there, it will cause the validation to fail and will cause other problems.

If you want to check what the values really are in the database try this (replacing the path with your path to mysql, and the "use moodle" statement to "use <databasename>" if Moodle uses a different database).

I did this in a cmd window. You can do the same sql statement (select name, concat('\'',value,'\'') from mdl_config where name like 'lamstwo%';) in any database client - just make sure you keep all the quotes intact.

C:\>"c:\program files\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql" -ulams2 -p
Enter password: ********
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 793
Server version: 5.0.33 Source distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> use moodle;
Database changed

mysql> select name, concat('\'',value,'\'') from mdl_config
    -> where name like 'lamstwo%';
+-----------------------+------------------------------+
| name                  | concat('\'',value,'\'')      |
+-----------------------+------------------------------+
| lamstwo_requestsource | 'Moodle'                    |
| lamstwo_serverid      | 'moodle'                    |
| lamstwo_serverkey    | 'moodle'                    |
| lamstwo_serverurl    | 'http://localhost:8080/lams' |
+-----------------------+------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>exit

If you see any extra spaces within the quotes, then you have a problem!

Hi Fiona, just wanted to thank you for your efforts to solve my issues. In the end I went into Macquarie and met with Ernie and Anthony and we solved it all.

Seems the validation error was an IE problem - it validated fine with Firefox installed. And my issues with not seeing sequences constructed in LAMS when on moodle was a permissions problem - I was logged in to LAMS as sysadmin who did not have permission in Moodle. Simple really!

Anyway, it has been a worthwhile exercise......thanks again
