Re: Installing Moodle along with WordPress on the same VPS

VPS is designed to sustain high load(depends on configuration) and so if your other WordPress isn't using too much of server's resources then "Why not to install another site on the same server?"

You can install moodle and keep both easily.

You can just create a new folder into "var/www/mynewsite"  and add your new domain to httpd.conf

now you are free to use "mynewsite" folder with your new domain. now you can install moodle here without any issue. It won't affect anything.

But for safety, as you are going to use same database user(you can also create a new one), better to keep a copy of your Wordpress database, in case of anything wrong occurs(you can take help from this article about How to backup WordPress database)


Thanks

Yes, I do realize Ken!

I can share the good news.... as the Moodle-installation is working 'properly'. The only change which is made to change the dbcollation-parameter in config.php. The current setting is 'dbcollation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci' and I can logon. Thanks to Ken!

I'm very curious why the previous setting did work for some days after the first upgrade to 3.6.3 at 22-4. Now, I'll work on the conversion of the database to utf8mb4_unicode_ci after making a backup of the current database. Thank you so much Ken.

Have a nice weekend!

Wim

Odp: admin setting problem

Exactly same problem as everyone here.

Absolutely no response from Moodle team. Clear sign they have no clue what's causing this. As such should be fired instantly. In fact they shouldnt have been hired.

And Moodle shouldn't be created. It's garbage.

Part about VPS being design to sustain highroad is of course true, but there is no VPS that will sustain loads of this size. I mean both WP and Moodle are so poorly written that they will consume as much resources as possible. 


To achieve what you want (hosting WP alongside Moodle) its best to purchase dedicated server

Hi Joe,

Look in the file config-dist.php located in the root moodle folder. Look in section 2. WEB SITE LOCATION where it tells you to make sure your $CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://example.com/moodle'; entry in your config.php file does not have a trailing slash.

Also look in the 6. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS down around line 250 in reference to YUI caching may be sometimes impred by slasharguments: It shows the entry you might want to try adding to your config.php file. $CFG->yuislasharguments = 1;

HTH,

AL

If you think it truly is garbage, then why are you trying to use it?

Thank you!

No, the line wasn't commented out. I've changed the value from 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' to 'utf8_unicode_ci'.

Nice weekend,

Wim

Very good!  Thanks for responding.   So no need for full unicode mysql support.

Would be a handy tip for other users using same provider facing the same issue ... if provider were known.   But, could be added to the list of things to try ... which just frustrates users with the issue even more. smile

Thanks Al,


I have moodle running now. I noticed that 1&1 offers a moodle installation package. It installs error free using the host's app-installer.

I agree and reckon the problem lies within the PHP config files in which I have limited access to on the hosted site because installing locally on my Win10 platform worked like a charm.

Unable to access Moodle site….

Hey guys, I could really use your help here. I’ve been trying to solve this myself, but this is all beyond my abilities.

I teach at a university in China. I recently bought a Synology Diskstation, and while playing around with all the features, I learned about Moodle. The more I researched about this platform, the more excited I got- I took a few MOOCs when I in college and I would love to set one up for my students. I installed Moodle on my Synology DS and began to construct my site.

However, my moodle cannot be accessed outside of my home network. I’m not sure the exact cause, but I think it’s a combination of the Chinese firewall, and/or the fact that I do not have a static IP address. (I requested a static IP from my internet provider, but they wouldn’t give me one)

So when I try to access http://(my ip address)/moodle  from an outside source, I just get an error message.

I’ve tried contacting Synology about this directly, but the main headquarters in the US had no idea what to do. So I got in touch with the company within China, and they gave me a few suggestions but eventually said it was too much trouble to bother with.

I’m not super tech-savvy, so I tried to go as far as I could. Searching around, I heard signing up for a service like noip.com and port forwarding it to the moodle site is the basic recommendation, but either I’m doing it wrong or it just won’t work.

I’ve spent about 3 full days on this so far and I just can’t figure out how to solve this problem. Would someone mind helping me out please?

I think we're going the wrong way. The package is working on PC with win10. But same package on virtual with win server 2012 call that error. Problem must be in services or sw on virtual.

It's unlikely that your home computer has got an internet facing IP address, so you can only access your Moodle from within your home network. Running an internet facing web server is not as simple as it seems. There are lots of things that you need to consider like security and backups and bandwidth and upgrades... etc. Do you want to do all that admin work yourself?

You said that you're not tech-savvy so you should probably focus on teaching and not on maintaining a Moodle server. Have a look at the options on https://moodlecloud.com/ that could get you started. That will be much easier and safer than trying to run your own server.

Or if you want something bigger look at the options provided by Moodle Partners: https://moodle.com/about-partners/ They offer professional Moodle hosting options for teachers who want to focus on teaching.

That error happens for two reasons only:

  1. You are using the wrong version of the php_intl.dll file. If you are running the 32 bit version of PHP then make sure you are using the 32 bit version of the file. Or the 64 bit version for 64 bit PHP. Look in your php.ini file for the setting called extension_dir. What path does it point to? It must be your PHP \ext path. And make sure you are using a version of the php_intl.dll file that corresponds to your PHP version.
  2. You have not installed the correct version of the Microsoft C++ Runtime library. The version on your laptop might not be the version you need to be running on your server. Get the correct version for your server from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

I have a test site and I am trying to install a zipped plugin which takes me about 30-45 minutes to upload and as soon as I then click to go ahead and install from the zip, I get a timeout. This has happened several times, and every time I start again from scratch. 

What do I change to allow it to install?
