Installation problems and error 500

Hi your first post indicates that you did a fresh install. This post indicates that you migrated the files. Can you confirm whether they installations of Joomla, Moodle and Joomdle were fresh or migrated. If migrated which did you migrate? If you migrated there will indeed be a number of configuration files that need to be updated in Joomla and Moodle (and VM if you are using that too). Also, how did you migrate eg. using a tool like joomlapack?

I'm sorry i didn't make myself clear.

I did a migration of moodle and changed some lines in de configuration file.

Joomla is a fresh install. After that i imported the other sql database, files and folders.

I don't understand.

Did you fist install joomla fresh, and then....? did you copy any joomla files/db from old install?

I assume that since you modified the moodle config files, you followed one of these methods to move moodle docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_migration

Fresh install of Joomla - good. You could also choose Joomlapack / akeebabackup www.akeebabackup.com/ as it offers you the ability to specify different domains, administrator IDs, site names, etc. upon restore. I use this to move joomla installations around. But a fresh install is even cleaner.

However, you say "After that i imported the other sql database, files and folders.". Is there any chance that this task could have unknowingly affected one of the platforms.

I guess the first place to start, assuming you wish to keep the current installations intact, would be to ensure that Joomla and Moodle operate successfully on their own before attempting to get Joomdle working as there could be conflicting sets of data.

@Antonio:

Yes that's right.

1. Fresh install of joomla.
2. copying extensions folders, templates....from old install (the one that worked)
3. copying database.

You understand now?


@chris:

yes i did the migration followed by the methods on moodle docs.
But moodle has nothing to do with this. Moodle works perfectly.

It is not my first time i migrate joomla to another host but something is messing it up.

Right now i am doing a clean installation of joomla 1.5.18 and just joomdle. I will something let you know when finished.

Hi guys,

Installed joomla succesfull. Joomdle installation same problem....aaargh.

I have tried it on other joomla installations too on that server. Same problem. I really don't know what to do.

May I suggest you download the manual joomdle version and intall modules/plugins seperataly and test each one. It might help track down the issue.
Best do it on a clean joomla version though.

thanks for the advise.

Installing the component and plugins works like a charm.

Problem is when i insert the location of moodle and i want to do a system check...BLANK SCREEN with weird signs.

like this: 


Maybe it is Moodle that's not good installed.

Check that the url in joomdle config says www.yourdomain.com
and not yourdomain.com
then check the urls in Moodle that point back to Joomla are the same.
