Hello,

thank you for your offer to help. I thought, leap2-standard means to be independent of platforms and versions.

I am not able to do the steps as described here, so I would like to come back to you as soon as you have got time.

Regards

Brigitte

Hi Brigitte,

on www.portfoliocommunities.com you can upload up to file size 512MB. Just create an account, then click portfolio->import and follow the steps. We have received files from various universities and they all seemed to work. You can delete everything after if you like

I could import the leap2a files from our V1.6.2 server  to http://www.portfoliocommunities.com and to my account here without any problems.

It seems to be a problem of our installation, so Aaron Wells is looking deeper into the subject.

As a newbie to Mahara, I am really impressed by your support :-)

Dominique and Dirk, thank you very much for your help.

Hi Brigitte,

If it works on portfoliocommunities.com (and mahara.org, as you mentioned in a direct message to me), but not on your server, then that suggests there's a problem with your server config.

The most likely thing would be your pathtounzip setting. Mahara uses the command-line unzip utility to decompress zipped files. By default it expects this utility to be accessible at /usr/bin/unzip. If it's not, on your server, then you can override this by adding a $cfg->pathtounzip setting to your config.php file.

One way to check whether your unzip is set up correctly, is to upload a zip file into your account's file area, and see if you can unzip it.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Yes, the problem was with our server config. We are running our apache webserver on Solaris. It took us some time to find out that iconv, a part in the php library was missing. After installing it, the import from V1.6.2 to V1.8.1 runs fine.

Thanks to you and all others for help

Brigitte
