[Closed] "Error building Admin Menus"

Hi imlach. Sorry I am a little confused. Earlier you had said it was working. What has changed? Are you having the same problem as jamdle - it does not appear that way? It would be best to have a different thread if it's a different issue so as to not confuse us.

Thanks

Chris

Q: I have re-read from the top of this thread, and still am not quite sure what your error message is aside from error building admin menus.

A: The error building admin menus was fixed with the suggestion by imlach to remove joomdle entries from the jml_menu table and re-install joomdle.

Q: You say you do not see the Joomdle System Web Services, in the Joomdle System Health Check. If you do not see it at all, this suggests there is a problem before this.

A: I agree, there probably is a problem with the Web Services itself not working.
Moodle has a place to check php info (SiteAdministration->Server->phpInfo) which shows SOAP Client and SOAP Server enabled, and xmlrpc loaded.
Also in Moodle, the Environment tab (Above phpInfo) shows all green OK's.
Joomla Site->SystemInformation->phpInformation also shows the same phpInfo output.


Q: Do you have any error messages aside from red x? Is everything green tick?
A: Everything else is green.

The phpinfo shows what is supported at the server level in php. This does not necessarily mean that Joomla and/or Moodle have been configured to leverage this.

It's difficult for me to say what you problem is definitively at this time as there are no error messages provided. My gut feel, however, is that maybe:
- joomdle is not enabled and/or configured in moodle
- moodle's webservices may not be setup/configured correctly

Also you do not indicate whether you are using Moodle 1.0 or 2.0. So other configuration options may have not been setup on the Moodle side.

I am using moodle 2.0. I am not getting any error messages, and everything seems to be functioning. When I do the Joomdle system health check, I see the red x for Joomdle Web Services. It says Joomla URL seems to be misconfigured in Joomdle auth plugin in Moodle.
I have tried variations of the Joomla URL (it is not in a subfolder, moodle is), however, using my main URL, everything is working without any errors.

Thanks. If everything is working than this is good. Perhaps there is an issue with the system health check showing an error when its not. I will get Antonio to look at this once he returns from leave.

Thank You for the explanations above, it allowed me to narrow the search. It took a while, but I found it!!

I am using Joomla 1.6.3, Moodle 2.0 and Joomdle 0.5 running on 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 and was able to find configuration errors within my setup. The apache server name didn't match the joomla/moodle name and port.

Once the URL/Port all matched, all green showed up on the system check after Apache restart.
XMLRPC PHP Extension
Joomdlehooks User Plugin enabled
Allow URL fopen
Joomdle Web Services

That's great. So all is OK now?
