I haven't done any testing with Mahara 1.2 under windows servers, but I've installed 1.3beta several times with networking - any chance you could try with a 1.3 install to see if that makes any difference?

12 July 2010, 8:08

Tried 1.3 beta, but still the same result - error log in Mahara debug mode only returns the following warning/error:

[WAR] 82 (E:\rkc_mahara\mahara\api\xmlrpc\client.php:176) Unknown error occured: 7023: [[encryption-invalid]]

That particular error suggests that the keys aren't matching on both servers - did you update the key stored in Moodle after installing a new Mahara site? - you may need to copy/paste the keys manually.

13 July 2010, 6:05

Yes - so just to confirm:

1 - the key in the Mahara host table should be the same as the key in the mdl_mnet_host for the moodle wwwroot record?
2 - the key in the Mahara config table should be the same as the key in the mdl_mnet_host for the mahara wwwroot record?

13 July 2010, 18:39

Yes, but you shouldn't need to look at the db to check this.

The key in Mahara under Site Administration > Networking should match the key in Moodle under Admin > Networking > peers and the new peer you've set up. My guess is that the key here is wrong - this would happen if you set up networking then re-installed your Mahara site. but didn't update the key.

The Key in Moodle under Admin > Networking > settings should match the key in Mahara for the xmlrpc auth under the new insitution you have created In Mahara, admin > Institutions - "edit" the institution, select xmlrpc and check the Moodle key is correct

No, these keys definitely match up - not sure if it's any more help, but the errors generated by the previous test installation differ from the error log I posted earlier re the Mahara 1.3.0beta installation

Installation:
PHP 5.2.6
libxml 2.6.32
Moodle 1.9.5
Mahara 1.2.4

I had a similar problem and solved it by setting the wwwroot variable in the config file.

Here's the "discussion" http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=2178#post9661

I had this problem earlier this week. I checked my httpd error logs and found an error about the time difference between the two servers was too large. I had NTP enabled on my mahara server but since my Moodle server was new and I didn't set it up, I hadn't checked NTP on it. I enabled NTP on the Moodle Server and when the server times had synchronized I was able to go from my Moodle server to Mahara without a problem.

I just had this problem and it was related to our (self signed) SSL cert.  I added "curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);" to line 62 on api/xmlrpc/client.php and it started working.

Thank you!
