Hi Howard,

I can confirm It is a true wildcard certificate that we are using.

Thanks

Bitnami Moodle in Production

$

by Potta Pitot.  

Hi,

I am interested in using Moodle in our corporate environment (approx 1500 users). I tried the Bitnami Moodle VM and it was very helpful as all the components were installed.

I wanted to know if it is alright to use Bitnami Moodle in production for the 1500 users. It is a single tier architecture. If yes, is it recommended to use the VM or setup a Linux server and install the Bitnami Moodle Linux installer?

Also to add is, if I need to upgrade the Moodle to future versions, which Bitnami option is easier?


Thanks in advance.

I would avoid the Bitnami installer on production environments. Setting up the Moodle web server, database and PHP engine individually gives you full control of the environment and allows you to tweak and improve the setup as your site grows (you add more users and/or more content).

Going off topic a bit.... but should you really use Apache on Windows? Why not use IIS that's built into Windows Server?

Maybe things have improved, but my adventures with Apache on Windows a long time ago yielded terrible results...

Ok - but the https://... url works? Despite the message?

If so, it's not a Moodle or Apache issue because it works. There's something wrong with the certificate or your browser. 

It's also worth checking that you don't have mixed content on your Moodle site  (links to http:// things). That can sometimes cause this error.

If you're moving (migrating) an existing Moodle site to the new server and you want to keep your courses and user data then you don't need to reinstall Moodle on the new server.

  1. Setup IIS on the new server.
  2. Setup MariaDB on the new server and backup/restore a copy of the Moodle database to this new instance of MariaDB.
  3. Setup PHP and run PHPInfo() to make sure the PHP setup is correct.
  4. Copy your Moodle code to the new server.
  5. Copy the MoodleData folder to the new server (assuming you aren't using some kind of NAS for MoodleData).
  6. Check the Moodle config.php file and make sure all the paths are still correct.

After all that you should be able to access the site on the new server, with course and student data all intact.

If you want to start with a fresh blank Moodle site with no courses or student data then use a blank database and blank MoodleData folder on the new server and do a new installation of Moodle.

It's fine until something goes wrong with - say - your next upgrade. 

You will then be relying on Bitnami or your host to help you. We cannot here as we did not write the Bitnami scripts.

Executive summary - do NOT use Bitnami, Softaculous or any other of these scripts for a production site.

No, the whole site was set up under opt by user moodle and root copied
things into place. I will guess that the ownership was not corrected for
those two directories.

Thanks for the pointer. RTFM, as always.

I changed the ownership and permissions on those directories and the
setting in config.php with apparent success.

Thanks,
Leo

Hi Chris, you dont have to install moodle once again, just setup your IIS, set permissions, import database, and things work like they should. depending on how large your moodle is, it's barely less than a minute job.

you can, as well change database name and import tables from old database, but be sure to update information in your config.php file (new database name and passwords)

Thanks alot for the clarification. I am interested in separating the systems for the moodle frontend and backend.

Is there a guide on how to achieve this? Planning to use Linux VMs.

Hi,

We have a moodle 3.4 installation on windows 2012 server with mysql 5.7. We want to migrate the setup to Oracle 11G/12C without affecting the ongoing courses (of course downtime is allowed, but  no data loss). How this can be done?
