[Moodle] Images in profiles and changing max upload limits

[Chris Ellis]

Have you checked your config for the following?

The requirements for Moodle are as follows:

   1. Web server software. Most people use Apache, but Moodle should work
fine under any web server that supports PHP, such as IIS on Windows
platforms.
   2. PHP scripting language (version 4.1.0 or later), with the following
settings:
          * GD library turned ON, with support for JPG and PNG formats
          * zlib library turned ON (if you want to use backup/restore on
Windows)
          * Sessions support turned ON
          * File uploading turned ON
          * Safe Mode must be turned OFF (see the forums on moodle.org for
problems caused by Safe Mode)

Cheers

Chris Ellis

Same problem here Michael- would also like to know how to fix this problem
up.  In the end I deleted the user account and started it again- there must
be an easier way.
