Hello,

I installed 1.8.8.2 using the SimpleScripts installation module within Bluehost and the install worked fine. I am now experimenting with the set-up. I have a few questions:

1) Dashboard -- I've added some modules here. Will they begin populating information automatically?

2) Video Conference -- Will I need a dedicated IP in order to set up this feature?

3) Social Network -- I have added a few test Learners (friends). Will they be able to help me beta test the course site using their personal email addresses? Or, will I need to set up email addresses for them using my website email on Bluehost?

I have manually installed 1.9.2 on my Bluehost server (shared IP). There is an error with install: [07-Dec-2012 12:06:52 America/Denver] PHP Warning: require_once(main/inc/global.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/colourf3/public_html/praxis/index.php on line 19

4) Version 2.1 -- I have manually installed this version on Bluehost, but am also having installation issues. I will post my question in the other forum category.

Can someone assist me with this issues?

Thank you.

1.8.8.2 is quite old previous version, I would recommand using 1.8.8.6 (as it's a minor release, you can safely upgrade your 1.8.2).

Aboout 1.9, well you may want to check some information:
1- The encoding: Chamilo is using UTF-8 by defalut, you therefore have to set this up for your database, up to you to modify it afterward (both MySQL and Chamilo must use the same character encoding). I think I remember there is another configuration file to modify, but not sure which one.
2- PHP version: 5.3 minimum required.

I hope with this, you may manage to install the platform.
Regarding 2.x, sorry I don't have experience

Hi, Coursenligne.

I have upgraded the PHP to v5.4 and will try upgrading from v1.8.8.2 to v1.8.8.6. I would like to begin using v2.1, so have installed it to another directory. But, in the meantime, will keep experimenting with v1.8.8.6 once I have that installed, hopefully without any issues.

Thanks for your recommendations and assistance.

When i tried to create a course, in 1.10, this error was thrown

Fatal error: Call to undefined function browse_folders() in /var/www/unstable.chamilo.org/www/main/inc/lib/course.lib.php on line 4259 Call Stack: 0.0015 424912 1. {main}() /var/www/unstable.chamilo.org/www/main/create_course/add_course.php:0 1.0757 21125076 2.

Now, i only get error 404 when i try to go to that platform...

EDIT: for some reason, no more 404 errors. But, when i click in the Learning Paths icon, i get this message, within the LP menu:
