Hi All,

I'm attempting to setup intergration between Mahara and Moodle as per the excellent Mahoodle docs.

My versions are:
Mahara version 1.0.1 (2008040201)
Moodle Version 1.9 (20080423)
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 5.0.26

When I click on the Mahara link in the Network Server block of Moodle I get a blank screen in Mahara - no messages at all. When I look in the Apache error_log for our Mahara server I see:

[Thu Nov 13 09:55:35 2008] [error] [client 172.17.200.84] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimpleXMLElement::getName() in /cfs/srv/www/v
hosts/mahara.sceggs.nsw.edu.au/mahara-1.0.6/htdocs/api/xmlrpc/server.php on line 103

[Thu Nov 13 09:55:35 2008] [error] [client 172.17.25.18] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimpleXMLElement::getName() in /cfs/srv/www/vhosts/mahara.sceggs.nsw.edu.au/mahara-1.0.6/htdocs/api/xmlrpc/client.php on line 100, referer: http://sceggsnet.sceggs.nsw.edu.au/"

Can anyone help. I feel I'm pretty close.

Hi Ian, It sounds like you

Hi Ian,

It sounds like you not have the simplexml extension enabled in your php settings. There are a few ways to test this but one way is to put a file in your web root with the contents:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Access this file and see if simplexml is listed as enabled.

Checked phpinfo

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your suggestion, I ran phpinfo() and this is what I got:

Simplexml support enabled
Revision $Revision: 1.151.2.11 $
Schema support enabled

I know Mahara is working - I configured it with LDAP support and it will created a new user without any problem when I simply login. I can live with this but it would have been neat to have SSO with Moodle.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian - you need PHP 5.1.3

Hi Ian - you need PHP 5.1.3 or later for MNET in Mahara to work (this is mentioned in the installation instructions but not checked for by Mahara 1.0 - 1.1 will have the fix).

Also, you should upgrade both your Moodle and Mahara versions to 1.9.3 and 1.0.6 respectively - there has been a lot of stability work put into MNET in those versions.

In the no-so-fine print!

Thanks for your time.
