<h3>Cannot access uploaded files</h3>

<p><b>Question:</b> I have a strange problem with my new installation of Moodle. Whenever I try
|
|
|
|
|
to access or view an uploaded resource, whether in the "Files" menu or on the course page,
|
|
|
|
|
I get a 404 error like this one:
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
Not Found<br>
|
|
|
|
|
The requested URL /moodle/file.php/2/myfile.jpg was not found on this server.

<p><b>Answer:</b> Your web server needs to be configured to allow the part of the URL
|
|
|
|
|
after a script name to be passed directly to the script. This is
|
|
|
|
|
usually enabled in Apache 1, but is usually disabled by default in
|
|
|
|
|
Apache 2. To turn it on, add these lines to your httpd.conf, or to
|
|
|
|
|
a .htaccess file in your local directory (see the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="./?file=install.html#webserver">Install documentation</A> for more details):
|
|
|

|
|
|
<p>Note, this will only work for Apache versions 2.x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are not using Apache 2 and you still have this problem (unlikely) then you
|
|
|
|
|
can switch Moodle to use an alternative method. The disadvantages are a slight loss of
|
2003-03-10 13:59:06 +00:00
|
|
|
performance for your users and you won't be able to use relative links
|
|
|
|
|
within HTML resources.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To use this alternative method: login as Admin, go into the "Configure Variables" page
|
|
|
|
|
and change the setting for "<b>slasharguments</b>". You should now be able to
|
|
|
|
|
access your uploaded files.</p>
