Hello everyone,

I am running XAMPP 2.5 and have installed Moodle 2.3.2 and Mahara 1.6.2.

I am at the process of integrating moodle and mahara, I am at enabling SSO chapter, I  have created the host in moodle and I am at the step fo clicking the "service" tab under networking/peer/mypeer and the page never loads, I get a "connection was reset" page.

The provided solution in this post in the moodle forums https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=203157does not solves the issue for me, I have added on both config.php files on both systems the variables.

mahara: $cfg->opensslcnf ='D:\xampp\apache\bin\openssl.cnf';
moodle: $CFG->opensslcnf = 'D:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf';

The contents of the apache error.log file look like this:

I would really appreciate any advice.

Hi Panayoitis,

I've not seen this error before, so I did a google search for the line that had the status code and said restarting; the first one of your log.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1138269/apache-error-notice-parent-child-process-exited-with-status-3221225477-res has one possible resolution.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help Melissa,

I tried the suggested solution from the link you provided but had no luck.

I even made a clean installation of Moodle, 2.4.1+ but again at the same point the same problem, the "services" tab just wont load.

Its very weird, I can't tell if there is something wrong with moodle or mahara or both or my server enviroment is the cause of this.

Regards

Panos

Hi Panos,

I'm pretty sure it's your server envirionment. You might get some better help on XAMPP from the official support channels for the project. The forums and chat listed on http://www.apachefriends.org/en/contact.html should be the place to ask.

Good luck!
Melissa.

Hello Melissa.

I installed a new version of XAMPP, now I have XAMPP 1.8.1.

Installed a fresh moodle 2.4.1+ and a Mahara 1.6.2.

Still the same thing. I will try this afternoon with a different laptop, with all new fresh installations of everything.

Regards,

Panos
