Hi All

I have had moodle up and running fine in a test environment.

Bur for some reason I have tried a fresh installation on a virgin sme system, the install went fine, but when a try add new users or courses etc I get error 500.

I can change themes, log  in etc.

Not sure where to start looking.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance

every time you have an error, the first things to do are:
- take a look in the logs (httpd's ones in your case)
- search the forums, the wiki, the documentation and bugzilla
- post a topic here with the error message
- file a bug (possibily) because "if it doesn't work out-of-the-box, it's likely a bug"

thank you

The best way to check the logs, I have found out, is to log into the Sever Manager Panel. View the log "messages". Then in a new tab, open your moodle or any problem application, recreate the problem, and then immediately refresh the log from your other tab.

I had an issue before where the log I was looking for got lost in DHCP leases and PPTP connections.

Hi

Thanks for your advice.

I have looked in the httpd log files through the sme server manager and there are no entries relating to moodle other than in the access log which does update each time I view a page, nothing about errors in that or any other http log file.

Stefano:
search the messages log file

follow wiki advice to enable displaying of php errors
