I just imported a new set of problems into our webwork 2.15 server. When I clicked on each of the new problem sets, (as far as I can tell) the problems are working, but I got the error message "ERROR: This problem file was empty!" on the right margin. I also go this same error message when I try to create a hardcopy.
Here is the "Error details" shown on the right margin (note that it mentions "Problem 0" but there is no problem 0 in any of the set definition files):

Note:
(1) The warning message above also appears when I tried to create a hardcopy.
(2) I encounter these errors only with the newly imported problems. I created a new problem set using existing problems from the OPL and I do not see these errors.
Any suggestions on how diagnose and fix this problem is most appreciated. THANKS!
The warning message tells you which file is empty, namely setHeader.pg. Most likely your set definition file named a header file to be used with that set, and that header file is not present in your new course.
You should either copy the header file into the course, or change the set to use the default header file.
The sets I uploaded turns out to default to "setHeader.pg" and "setHeader_paper.pg", while our 2.15 server has "ASimpleHeader.gp" and "ASimpleHardCopyHeader.gp". I made a copy of our two header files, renamed them to the ones used in the sets, and everything works now.
Thanks so much!
