Help on test environment and general installation questions

Hello all, im fairly new to joomble, and im encountering a few bumps on the way to use it.
As stated on the subject is a test environment to learn to use it before installing it on the live server. Done in Mamp on a Mac, installed the xmlrpc extension with out problem.

Steps im following acording to documentation:

1. Prerequisites:
Ive correctly instaled both joomla 3.8.2 and moodle, 3.3.2

2. Preparing Moodle:
ive intalled joomble on moodle activated the auth plugin (it tellms me something about versions but i continue anyway and it seems to function well) i open the plugin configuration and leave it at that for the moment as i dont have the joomla key yet.

3. Installing on joomla:
I install the package on joomla and open the component configuration, and follow the instructions on configuration (ive tested both connection methods, and also on the URL ive tested both typing "localhost" and the ip of my local server.
as i save to get the joomla key for the moodle i get an "Localhost hasn't send any data ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE", i can go back to my joomla instalation but the configuration page of the joomble is inaccesible, neither the user, course request and system check.

Im at an impass here, have i done anything wrong? am i missing something, are any of the versions im using not suported? is it something in particular of mamp maybe?

Hi.

First thing is about MAMP: it's been quite a while, but I remember some people had problems in the past trying to set up Joomdle on MAMP. As I don't own a Mac I have never tried myself, so I don't know if it was a real problem, or just some configuration issue.

So, If I were you I would try setting it all up in a test server, or on a Linux box (or even Windows with XAMPP).
Other option, if you have your MAMP sever exposed to the Internet, would be for us to try and do some debugging, to finally find out if there is really a problem with MAMP and Joomdle.

As for configuration: I guess you have something like:
http://localhost/joomla
http://localhost/moodle
Those are the URLs that needs to be entered in Joomdle config screens.

Thank you for the fast responce.
I will try on a wamp server on my home as my work computer is the mac one, and see if that changes anything.

One thing is that i have my moodle as a subfolder on my joomla something like this:
http://localhost:8888/joomla
http://localhost:8888/joomla/moodle

could this have something to do with it?

I don't think so, I think that configuration should work.... although I don't remember having used non-standard ports, so that could be an issue. Can you try using port 80?

i cannot, it's an office wide configuration. will try it at home and tell you if something changes.

I just remembered that I have worked with Joomdle installations on non-standard ports, and it worked fine, so that should not make a difference.

Update: ive tested it on my Home pc and it worked fine, so if it works on nos standard ports then it must be something about mamp on mac

Yes, it seems so. As I said, only thing we could do is try to debug the problem live at your Mac, but you would need to expose it to the Internet so I could work with it.
I don't know of any real reason for it not to work on MAMP....
