[Deploying Sakai] [Building Sakai] modules are failing

Wed Jan 5 11:37:41 PST 2011

Hello again Mallika,

I have rechecked, and everything seems to be selected as you stated. I
checked another working instance and they look the same....but....still
not working.

I do keep noticing that on the modules page the options at the top have
not changed. still on the teacher site the Author and Manage options are
not there. Do you know where that information get set? I thought that
giving the correct permissions would have made them show up.

Is there a file somewhere that may e incorrectly set (permissions) in
the file system not allowing it to read???  (just grasping at straws at
this point!)

Thank you for your help.

Bruce Ballou

Bruce,

I am not sure where you are stuck. Sakai upon installation comes with
the Instructor and Student roles which can be modified via
site.template.course. For these roles, you need to set permissions as
specified below. Create a new site and it should work. Did you restart
tomcat? I don't believe you should have to do that even.

Thanks,
Mallika
