"Should I add back now all these tables I deleted" – these tables should have been created again during the 3.9 upgrade.

To recap to ensure we're both on the same page:

The site was originally 3.7.
There was an attempt to upgrade to 3.9.
This attempt was rolled back and the 3.7 database restored "over" the 3.9 database leaving the new 3.9 tables in place.
There was a subsequent attempt to upgrade to 3.9. This failed when Moodle tried to create the new 3.9 tables because they already existed. (This was the original question in this discussion thread).
The new 3.9 tables were deleted using phpMyAdmin. (My suggestion).
There was another attempt to upgrade to 3.9 which apparently succeeded.

So if the upgrade to 3.9 completed successfully in step 6. then the new 3.9 tables such as mdl_contentbank_content should have been created. If this table isn't there then that's concerning.

But you're correct: you would get "Error reading from database" if mdl_contentbank_content was missing.

So, can you confirm that mdl_contentbank_content is missing in phpMyAdmin? Are the other tables that were removed also still missing?

I have installed a number of plugins with no problems on my 3.9rc1 Moodle installaltion.

After copying the content of quizaccess_honestycheck_moodle31_2014111200.zip to mod/quiz/accessrule, running the Moodle notification, all dependencies show green, when I click install, it hangs when it reaches the update database screen with the following error:

I should note that the folder mod/quiz/accessrule/honestycheck/db exists and the install.xml file is world readable.

I have posted in the git repository for the plugin. (https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-quizaccess_honestycheck/issues/7 ) The author suggests it is an installation problem.

I have tried installing via direct copy and using the git clone command. I get the same error.

I also have my git directory in /opt/moodle. It is the recommendation for the location in the Ubuntu Step by Step guide in the Moodledocs.

There is also quite a detailed explanation which advocates using the /opt directory and then copy files to the web root. I haven't used git enough to know if the /opt or /var/www/html is best and used the webroot for a recent install.

Thanks Ben, I've had a look into this. When Moodle upgrades:

for system tables and existing plugins it only attempts to create tables if they don't already exist;
for new plugins (including core plugins that are part of Moodle) it performs install steps which assume tables do not already exist.

Because the upgrade has been continued after the error (rather than rolling the site back to 3.7) it's already beyond point 1. and is now installing the new plugin tables in step 2.

But because I'd said to remove both the new system and new plugin tables, only the plugin tables were recreated when the upgrade continued.

So, firstly apologies for the misleading advice. The correct advice should have been to delete the following tables only:

h5pactivity
h5pactivity_attempts
h5pactivity_attempts_results
quizaccess_seb_quizsettings
quizaccess_seb_template

And secondly, if you can please go ahead and restore the missing tables from the database backup:

badge_backpack_oauth2
contentbank_content
forum_grades
h5p
h5p_contents_libraries
h5p_libraries
h5p_libraries_cachedassets
h5p_library_dependencies

(These lists correspond with the ones you provided).

There's advice on StackOverflow on restoring individual tables from a MySQL/MariaDB backup file. The backup file is a text file therefore it's possible to create a copy and edit this copy so it only contains the required tables. But if advice is needed, please ask.

≪ Previous: Re: error/An error occurred whilst communicating with the server

Broadly, yes. I'd start by checking whether you even need to change the MySQL/MariaDB settings. This can be done in phpMyAdmin by pasting the statement:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES WHERE variable_name IN ('innodb_file_format', 'innodb_large_prefix', 'innodb_file_per_table')

into the SQL tab and click Go:

phpMyAdmin SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES

The values needed for utf8mb4 are:


Variable name	Value
innodb_file_format	Barracuda
innodb_file_per_table	ON
innodb_large_prefix	ON

You only need to make the changes to the MySQL/MariaDB server if any of these don't match. Different server OS types have the MySQL/MariaDB server configuration file in different locations. On my CentOS server it's in /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf. Your screenshot has an include for /etc/mysql/conf.d so check in there.

Once you have the above settings in place run:

php admin/cli/mysql_collation.php --collation=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

This can take some time, e.g. hours if the site is > 10 GB. Then run:

mysqlcheck -u root -p --auto-repair --optimize --all-databases

Then edit the site's config.php changing dbcollation:

$CFG->dboptions = array (

 ⋮
  'dbcollation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
);

Then check the site's Environment report to confirm that the Full UTF-8 Support warning no longer appears.

Hey, I've a problem with a fresh installation of Moodle and have no idea how to debug it deeply. Results for now:

SMTP configuration fail. Mailer returns error like:

Your site couldn't communicate with your mail server. Please check your outgoing mail configuration.

in the logfile:

Failed to send an email from the user with id '2' to the user with id '-99' due to the following error: "SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting".

But:

1. tcpdump shows proper communication between hosts:

2. The password is checked and correct.

The explanation kinda dependent upon whether op develops anything core or plugin related. /opt/moodle is used for staging ... everything ... core code + any plugins ... and if one reads the step 5 paragraph that explains, says to add ignore's to .gitignore for non-core code. Huh?

True that plugins can cause issues on upgrades ... but usually updates go ok. I check all plugins via moosh script I have to see if there is a compat version if upgrading. And run a code + DB dump backup just prior to update.

uhhhh ... all I want to do is update/upgrade core code. That being the case, the /opt/moodle/ git work would be nothing more than testing git repo communications and acquisition of files via git.

So think I'll skip the /opt/moodle thang ... but ... to each their own! smile

Installing Locale

≪ Previous: Re: Upgrading Moodle to 3.9 stable

I have read many different posts and tried many different things, but cannot get day-of-week and month names to translate into Indonesian.

Here is what I have done:

In ubuntu (20.04) installed locale id_ID.utf8
In ubuntu set LANG="id_ID.UTF-8"
In moodle set default language to $CFG->lang='id';
NOTE, if I set language default in config.php to id_ID or id_ID.utf-8, I get error "Invalid current value" in the Admin->Language configuration page.
The MOODLEDATA/lang/ folder, contains subfolder 'id' where the Indonesian language files are located. (I am curious why the folder is id not id_ID or id_ID.utf-8??) I installed en_US and the folder name here is en_US.
MOODLEDATA/lang/id/langconfig.php has this line.
$string['locale'] = 'id_ID.UTF-8';

This seems to incorporate all postings about this topic I have found. I don't know where else to look or what else to try.

The only thing that comes to mind is that somehow there is a disconnect between the way the Indonesian langauge pack is named "id" with the locale I have installed "id_ID.utf-8"

Solved my problem.

It turns out that $CFG->lang must be the same as the folder name of the language pack. (In my case the folder was named id not id_ID or id_ID.utf-8). Else you will get an error.

However, adding
$CFG->locale='id_ID.utf-8'
solves the problem. And the dates render correctly whether English or Indonesian is selected.

Suggest installing a plugin to test

https://moodle.org/plugins/local_mailtest

Logfile you show is from DB and does point to phpMailer ... default if no smtp setup working. Other test were also outside of Moodle.

Does server have logs for mail? /var/logmaillog ... surely it has error log from web service. Anything there?

What sort of checks does zoho do? One of the items checkers will check is the from address ... like noreply@TRUEFQDN of moodle server is 'tuthful' as far as checkers go .... still might be a no-no with zoho, but ...

Have you looked at:

https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/guidelines-spam-control.html

Shows zoho will check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in DNS.

Hello Leon,

Thank you for your help with this.
I just want to check the command I will use is correct before i run it after reading the StackOverflow post.

This was the command I used to create a backup of that database.

mysqldump -u root -p bitnami_moodle > backup.sql

Therefore is the following command correct? and i guessing i will need to run it for each and every table?

$ sed -n -e '/CREATE TABLE.*`badge_backpack_oauth2`/,/CREATE TABLE/p' mysql.dump > badge_backpack_oauth2.dump

Thanks for your help.

Hello Leon,

After running that SQL query I only get the following variable:

Variable_name          Value
innodb_file_per_table   ON

So not having the 2 other values, what is the next step?

Add these values to this file? /etc/mysql/conf.d

(When I open this file it is empty)

Variable name	Value
innodb_file_format	Barracuda
innodb_large_prefix	ON

Sorry if this is painfully laborious but I have ever had to do anything like this before.
Cheers,

Hi Ken, thanks for reply.

local_mailtest shows the same info: Moodle could not communicate with your mail server. Thats all..

> Does server have logs for mail? /var/logmaillog ... surely it has error log from web service. Anything there?

The server doesn't use any own services to send emails thats why server log files are empty. Moodle use phpmailer to send messages and via Moddle interface it's return error suggest communication problems (what don't exist because tcpdump shows it clearly).

>What sort of checks does zoho do? One of the items checkers will check is the from address ... like noreply@TRUEFQDN of moodle server is 'tuthful' as far as checkers go .... still might be a no-no with zoho, but ...

Zoho is working fine and on the same host I have Wordpress which works great with Zoho SMTP. Im sending mails from exist address with FQDN and all checks should be a problem by Zoho side.

> Shows zoho will check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in DNS.

SPF/DKIM and DMARC are set for this domain.

I raised it because I think the step by step guide is the best installation guide in the docs so it is the single page I always turn to. I have often wondered about the git step and on some recent installs I use the webroot. I think many will have git installed on /opt because of this instruction.

I will have to have a play and see how the two approaches differ
