Hi Ernie,

Please find my answers to all your questions below next to the **

When you say that you are openning Author, is that by going login directly into LAMS or by clicking on the "Open Author" link *in* moodle?
**I am opening Author by clicking on the Open Author link in Moodle which is next to the add new lesson link.

The error message that you are getting means that Moodle is attempting to get information directly from LAMS but it can't connect to it. So that means that Moodle (the server) cannot make direct connections to the LAMS server on port 80 (to get the list of sequences available).

However, it seems that LAMS (the server) can indeed make calls to Moodle to get user's details.

So, can you check that the LAMS Moodle configuration settings are correct and that the connection validates (see Modules -> Activities -> LAMS v2 in Moodle). Also, check the LAMS Sysadmin menu (Integrated servers).
**I have checked that the connection validates within the LAMS v2 module and all is well with that. The LAMS sysadmin menu also appears correct.

Also, can you check any firewall settings as well that would prevent the moodle server to make outgoing calls?
**LAMS and Moodle are installed onto the same server so there shouldn't be any problems with port 80 traffic between the two. I have double checked the firewall however and ensured all necessary ports are open.

I have lams running on port 8585 (hopefully that isn't the cause of the problem as I already have an app running on port 8080 on this server. If that is the cause though please let me know as I can change the port of the other app if necessary). The server is an Ubuntu 9.04 server.

I am now checking out the wildfire configuration so will come back to you with regards to that shortly.

Thanks for your help
Andy
