Common error on logging in

cimini's picture

Some of you reported that getting the error message below while trying to log in
on the WebEx webpage:

Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling
the request.

After receiving a hint and playing with the WebEx login webpage, we are guessing
that this error is due to copying-and-pasting the password directly from the email
to the WebEx login field. It is possible to copy a blank space by mistake at the end
of the password. We checked and got this very same message from the WebEx
system. So, next time you login on the WebEx system, please make sure that you
have only the password characters on the password field.

Best,

Carlos

I saw that you will be posting the lectures on line as *.wrt files. I went to download WebEx, but your link to the website only offers a 2 week service for the player.

Does Stanford offer a student version or allow use of the WebEx viewer over a longer period of time? I have several conflicts with the course time and will need to view the lectures after they are posted.

When you click on the blue

When you click on the blue button (indicating windows or mac) you should be able to get the webex player for indefinite use. I think the 14 day trial is for the webex application, not for the webex player.
Please let us know if it is otherwise.
