Description

Test:

  • Take a clean Moodle or rename your config.old
  • Run moodle (Installation script)
  • Go through the installation to the "Server Checks" page.
  • No icon image ( Firefox) or missing images (IE).

Cause:
weblib.php:
doc_link(...) {
...
if (empty($iconpath)) { $iconpath = $CFG->httpswwwroot . '/pix/docs.gif'; // PROBLEM: $CFG->httpswwwroot isn't define in install script }
...
}

Quick fix:
install.php:
case ENVIRONMENT: /// Environment checks
+ // Set CFG->httpswwwroot default value
+ // it is used to display icon image by doc_link() in weblib
+ global $CFG;
+ $CFG->httpswwwroot=$INSTALL['wwwrootform'];

Hi Jerome,

while your suggested patch will work perfectly I would suggest to use the one attached above. The reason for it is that we already have one "Fake settings" section in the installer and I think it's better to have all them together.

This should be applied to 18_STABLE, 19_STABLE and HEAD IMO

Also, I'd suggest to apply the same changes to the installers present at http://cvs.moodle.org/contrib/tools/m4w_builder/installer/ (to the 18, 19 and 20 ones). This only needs to be done in HEAD.

Those installers are the ones used to build the Windows packages and they are 90% equivalent to the distribution one, so as a general rule, it's nice to replicate changes from the distro to them.

Thanks!

NOTE: To test the windows installers, you can replace Moodle's install.php by any of them safely. IMPORTANT: Be careful when committing them, they must go back to contrib before!

Ciao
