Urghh..... I enabled debugging in the config file, but it doesn't show in the backend. Double urghh.... What to do...

Under any chances, could it be that you copied the Welcome text from another source, like a Word document?

I am afraid now

The survey was exported from 1.86 and imported to 1.90, and it is clean html in the formattings. And if create new basic formattings in 1.90, like a paragraph, it looses all the formatting after save, and it cuts it off after a certain length.

And the strange thing is that I get the same errors in 1.86 also....

This is turning into a bit of a crisis, because I can´t use the survey if I don´t manage to find the cause...

Can you attach that survey here?

Hi C

Thanks. I attach the same survey twice:
-The csv file is the original survey with formatting of the welcome message intact
-The lss file is the same survey after I opened the welcome message for the survey and saved it again.

I PM you the password for the zip file.

I did a test: I copied all the limesurvey files to a local wamp server, ran the installation script, and opened limesurvey admin there. Everything is ok.

So I deleted the db on our webserver, and ran the installation script again, but I get the same errors as before. So it must be something on the webserver that causes it, right? But what.....?

IMporting and saving the welcome text works just fine here - so it really is something with your hosting. I guess some server-side filter is removing the HTML - but is is just a guess. Never have seen something like this before.

You should use another hosting or use LimeService to create online surveys: www.limeservice.com

Thanks, I will contact the host. We have a tuned up host for Joomla, so I will try to find a solution before I change the host.

Once you have solved this issue please report back so that other users will benefit from your solution, too.
