[SOLVED] Login failures in Joomla plus no http connections

Joomla 3.1.5 / php 5.4.17 / mysql 5.1.7 / centos 6.4 / moodle 2.5.1

I have double checked my joomdle installation twice - both moodle and joomla are set up correctly as far as I can tell. I have successfully used joomdle before (with joomla 2.5) on a different server.

Health check says everything is OK, including Joomdle web services, except for joomdle-moodle connectivity and moodle-joomdle connectivity.

Problem: With joomdle enabled in joomla, I cannot login to joomla's front end. I get a 500 error from this page: mrevans.info/moodle/auth/joomdle/land.php . If I disable joomdle, login to joomla, enable joomdle, and try to logout I get a 500 error from this page: mrevans.info/moodle/auth/joomdle/land_logout.php .

I can sync users from joomla to moodle and I can login to moodle directly.

What can I do to try to solve this problem?

Thanks.

Check server logs to see what is causing the Error 500.

I looked at the error logs and found that all failures were due to files/directories being "writeable by group".

I used chmod to fix this as follows:

directories to 755
files to 644

in moodle/auth/joomdle


After this, health check is all green and no more errors.

For anyone unsure how to use chmod to do this, check out this link:

Thanks for a great extension!

Thanks for sharing back your results.

I noticed this happened to me once, so I will try to fix permissions in the package for next release.
