Faculty-webmaster-type-people,

What Kaaren says below worries me a bit.  When I set up the new server last night, I specified the system binaries for the zip and unzip programs.  I turned it off before I replied to Kaaren, and that seems to have done the trick.  Are we talking incompatible zip file formats here?  I recall seeing something wonky about this on moodle.org many months ago, but couldn't find it again.

Joe--any thoughts?

In the meantime, I've disabled the system binaries and let Moodle use its own routines, even though it's massively slower.

David
