Hi,
      I'm running Moodle 2.3.2 and Mahra 1.5.4
      With this community's help, I have integrated Moodle and Mahara succesfully.
Now, I just go on trying to export content to Mahara. At first, I managed to export forum posts to Mahara.
Luckily, it did well in HTML format. But, in Leap2A format, it failled and the error is as follows.

Failed to start communication with remote server: remote server error: code: , message: FATAL: XML file is not well formed! Please consult Mahara's error log for more informationERROR 4:
4: remote server error: code: , message: FATAL: XML file is not well formed! Please consult Mahara's error log for more information

Judging from the above, the error seems to come form Mahaha.
Any information or any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Alexander, Kuo.

Hi Alexander,

Could you please post the logs it mentions? We would need to see those to make a suggestion. The errors could be in moodle with mahara merely logging the error it experienced. We don't know until we see the logs.

Remember to remove any private information such as passwords that appear in the logs.

Thanks,
Melissa.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for that, I have some ideas about your problem and have sent you a PM about it.

Cheers,

Hugh

Hi Hugh,

  I can't find the leap2a.xml file in /data/mahara/upload/temp/import/3/extract/.
  Any ideas?
  Cheers,

Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

Did you try my suggestions in PM? If you retransfer it from Moodle the directory may change, but the new directory will be shown in the logs.

You may not of seen the latest PM I sent, if you check your notifications (https://mahara.org/account/activity) and select "Message from other users" in the activity type.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Hugh

We are also experiencing this issue and I have investigated this.

Not sure about the solution but I have put my comments at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/988254 which can be solution.

Can I please get feedback about that ?
