Joomla cannot connect to Moodle

Hi

The Jommdle System Check always displays:
1. Joomla cannot connect to Moodle
2. Moodle cannot connect to Joomla

Can somebody help?


Software used:
Moodle 2.2.4
joomla 2.5.6
joomdle 0.82

This is usually caused by networking problems:
- Firewall or other security items
- DNS issues
...

Hi Antonio,

I think this is other issue, because I am using joomla and moodle on the same server to test before my production.
On the url in joomla and moodle I am writting http://myserverip/moodle and http://myserverip/joomla.

My server firewall is open and I still get the error.
Do you have any other sugestions?

On the DNS I am using a regular DNS of my house.. my server is connected and resolving names..
Do I have to insert on some place my dns IP on joomdle interface?

Gracias.

What OS are you running your server on? Windows 7?

Hi Chris,

I am using both debian...

apache2 and bind9

was there any solution to this? i have installed it all 3 separate times now and still get the errors:

Joomla cannot connect to Moodle
Moodle cannot connect to Joomla
Received Empty response from Moodle


i keep going through everything, and can't see that i've missed any stages out.


Apache server, Joomla 2.5.7, Moodle 2.3.2 (Build: 20120910), Joomdle 0.82


if it's any help, with debug on i get the following warnings:

Warning: file_get_contents( www.mysitename.com/moodle/auth/joomdle/connection_test.php ): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/sites/mysitename.com/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_joomdle/helpers/content.php on line 243 Warning: file_get_contents( www.mysitename.com/moodle/auth/joomdle/c...tion_test_joomla.php ): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/sites/mysitename.com/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_joomdle/helpers/content.php on line 243

Did you setup both sites with file_get_content ?

Try to use cUrl insted file_get_content.

yes, tried that too, same issue. both file_get_content, and cURL seem to be ok, but the last 3 checks as above always give the errors.

The logs gives the answer:

Warning: file_get_contents( www.mysitename.com/moodle/auth/joomdle/connection_test.php ): failed to open stream: Connection refused

It seems your server is refusing connections to that file.
Try to open that in the browser. If it works, there must be something (like firewall) that forbids connections from server to itself.

it give the message "OK", so i guess that means it works.

i am installing this on a shared server, so i presume i need to write a support ticket to see if there's some kind of firewall setting yes?
