Hello friends,

Today I first time tried upgrade via Git to 3.0 and failed. 

What I did:

$ cd /home/admin/web/myMoodleURL/
$ git clone git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git
$ cd moodle
$ git branch -a
$ git branch --track MOODLE_30_STABLE origin/MOODLE_30_STABLE
$ git checkout MOODLE_30_STABLE

Then:

$ cd /home/admin/web/myMoodleURL/public_html/
$ sudo -u apache /usr/bin/php admin/cli/maintenance.php --enable
$ git pull

and there is message appearing "fatal: Where do you want to fetch from today?"

What is wrong?

Matteo.

The Virtualmin version is 4.18.gpl.  I have the exact same LAMP set up on the development and production servers but it is only the development server that gives this error message when I go to check the environment to install Moodle 3.0. 

So I did as you suggested and created the simple PHP page and ran it from my browser.  I was then able to the compare the print out with my Moodle's PATH_INFO.  I went through both line-by-line but there was no difference between them.

I'm beginning to think the best thing to do is to rebuild the server and install 3.0 from scratch since I don't seem to be able to get past that error message.

I don't (quite) believe that's the whole story...

- If you clone inside /home/admin/web/myMoodleURL/ then you'll end up with your Moodle repository at /home/admin/web/myMoodleURL/moodle

- you don't claim to have renamed 'moodle' to public_html so the bit after 'Then:' doesn't make sense. 

Assuming, however, that you did and just didn't tell us, this implies something strange at [/home/admin/web/myMoodleURL/public_html.

What happens if you go there are type...

git remote -v

and

git branch -vv

Erm... that's because you have to upgrade to 2.2 first. By a circular route admittedly, all you did was try to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.9 (upgrade generally means modifying stuff in the database, not just changing the code).

I'm not sure what you mean by 'my webhost does not offer 2.2' when you can just download it here. Although, I'm guessing you may have used some form of provided installer script. If you did then you have just found out why it's not such a good idea and you may want to ask your host what they expect people in your position to do. 

Having said all that, you have all the data and you should still be able to install 2.2 'by hand' (it's hardly any more difficult) and go from there.

You should also check if your webhost has the necessary php version.
At this point, you need to revert to a backup before your upgrade.  Then you need to upgrade to 2.2 and then on to 2.9 (if your webhost supports it).

You might want to consider doing a new install of Moodle 2.9 or even 3.0, just to see if this version works on your web server.  As suggested  by Emma, verify that your web host supports the required versions of php and mySQL.

Installing from scratch will also help you learn a little more about Moodle.

Hi all,

I followed Ken's instructions and got my Moodle 3.0 up and running.  

I set up an XAMPP server and put Moodle 3.0 in ../htdocs/Moodle30.   I got the "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete" screen.  Something similar with E. At first I thought it might be a mySQL problem so I put in the port and socket in Moodle's config.php.  

What worked was to physically delete the

../moodledata/cache/cachestore_file/default_application folder.  

I put this wonderful solution into MoodleDocs under XAMPP.  

Note: I had Bitnami install a version of 2.3 on the same XAMPP server two weeks ago.   It put Moodle in ../apps/moodle/htdocs and worked just fine. 

Thank you Ken for the magic wand and for everyone else for asking the question.

Chris

Any suggestion and support would be highly appreciated.

Thank You

Yes but depending on use is not required. Just do multiple classes. To do multiple instances on same server use apache name directives and change default moodle install folder name and db name

Hi,
I've upgraded my 2.9.3 moodle site to 3.0.
The first problem is a crashing question type plugin.
Any suggestion how to solve this?

The blank page sometimes happens (Its happened alot to me on new installs), if you delete the moodledata cache it should work fine (if its a fresh install you could just delete the moodledata contents which will repopulate on loading)

Enable debugging, reboot the moodle server and let me know the results

THAT... just means that the database is corrupted. Drop the database, recreate and start again. 

Keep your config.php with debugging enabled this time though!

Hi Tom,
replace is part of the game when migrating an instance to another FQDN , read more at: https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Search_and_replace_tool.

Keep us updated: I'll try to install a W2K12R2 server with the ARR feature to try to test it by myself: Moodle is supposed - read: it should be reverse proxy friendly - to correctly manage its cache control headers including the way it compress some outputs.

Hi all,

I am really happy to get support from everyone as I am a newbie. This time I have another issue and I have been using the theme ESSENTIAL, thanks to the creator.

In my course menu, the display shows a gap between course title and course description which is not looking professional actually. I  want to put the course title and course description just up and down without any gap. I have added a screenshot, please have a look.

I have changed the course appearance menu as much I could, but no success.

Thank You

Alright, sorry for my language. 

My server is centOS 6.7 and my moodle files inside /home/admin/web/online.bfa.mn/public_html folder. 

As docs said

$ cd /home/admin/web/online.bfa.mn/ $ git clone git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git (1) $ cd moodle $ git branch -a (2) $ git branch --track MOODLE_30_STABLE origin/MOODLE_30_STABLE (3) $ git checkout MOODLE_30_STABLE (4)

It is what I did successfully.

When I type git remote -v inside /home/admin/web/online.bfa.mn folder then appears message: fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

But inside /home/admin/web/online.bfa.mn/moodle folder

# git remote -v origin git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git (fetch) origin git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git (push)

]# git branch -vv
