The solution may be simple but since this stops creating new classes, and makes it difficult to work out how to modify old classes in order that the function in the updated system, this stops basic functionality IMHO; i've put the bug severity as "important" since it (probably) doesn't stop *all* functionality for ordinary users. WHAT I DID: start from home page: localhost/wims * teacher's area * click here (If you don't have yet your own class: you may click here to create one) * Individual class errors: Name of the institution (at most characters): Name of the class (at most characters): # i filled in all the boxes * continue error message: Creation of a class You haven't given all the necessary informations for the creation of a class. Please complete your data before submitting them. So i can't create the class. INTERPRETATION: When executing public_html/modules/adm/class/regclass.en/main.phtml, $instlim, $desclim have not been evaluated . DISCUSSION: The only changes postinstall include the chmods which *add* access to various files, they don't remove any access, so i don't see why they would be the cause of the problem. amities boud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
