Something is wrong with Joomdle Web Services setup

If you get database errors with duplicate keys, try starting over by removing the offending rows/table. Execute these queries in your Moodle database:

delete from mdl_config_plugins where plugin like '%joomdle%';
delete from mdl_mnet_host2service where hostid=0 and serviceid=4;
drop table mdl_joomdle_dummytable

An then, visit Notifications page again.

Re-check your Joomla URL in Joomdle auth plugin configuration, in Joomdle auth plugin in Moodle.
Make sure you include http://
Check Joomla multi-language configuration and enter appropiate parameters in Moodle side if necessary

Received empty response from Moodle

Usually this caused by a misconfigured Moodle URL in Joomdle component. Double check that it is correct and that it includes http:// in front. If you are sure everything is correct, consider that it may be a connection issue (firewall, etc).

Source IP not allowed

This means your server is using a non-public IP address for Joomla-Moodle connections. You will need to enter the displayed IP address in the "Server address" config option, which can be found:

In Joomla 1.5, in Joomdle XMLRPC plugin configuration
In Joomla 1.6, in Joomdle general config

E_DEPRECATED errors are enabled in your PHP configuration

You have E_DEPRECATED errors enabled in your PHP configuration. You need to disable them for Joomla web services to work.

Look into your php.ini file and look for the 'error_reporting' directive. If you are on a hosted server you may need to contact your hosting company to modify your PHP configuration.

For example, my local configuration is: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
