I am planning to jump from moodle 3.1 to 3.5 and then 3.9.
What do you guys suggest. As per documentation says, I can upgrade to 3.5 if I have version 3.1.
so then I can upgrade to 3.9 once I have 3.5.
Do you have any recommendation? Should I upgrade sequentially?
Recommendation: take a copy of the site and do a test upgrade first. Find out and resolve any problems during this test upgrade before upgrading the production site.
@Steve ...
Move the /local/pluginname out of moodle code. Unzip the new local plugin zip in /local/. In mdl_config_plugins table remove rows for old local plugin.
Then install.

I do not know if my static IP address is accessible from the Web.
How can I control it?
Well, I tell you my new moves !!
I go to no-ip.gr and I have defined a host name for my external ip.
Then I put ipv4 192.168.1.65 (my computer) on port 80 on my router.
I go to my Windows .hosts file and configure my ipv4 in my hostname 192.168.1.65 -> christ30.hopto.org
I just did these.
if i'm wrong, tell me your opinion why i've been looking for this thing for many days.
I want my teacher to check my website for my degree.
Hi,
I am using moodle version 3.5.1.
Migrated whole moodle site to another hosting. Now 2 out of 300 users, are reporting following error when they try to login.
Strangely, I am able to login from my laptop using their credentials. They have tried different laptops, browsers after clearing cache, but no success. I cleared the website and moodle cache, still no gain.
Following is the screenshot of the errors they get when I enable debug mode in moodle. (Also attached herewith)

Could you please help identify the issue.
Kind regards.
"Let's say ..." ... actually because there are some areas of moodle config (like users) that have utilities via command line, Moodle might actually be more secure than mentioned CMS's (I've used/am using both CMS's, BTW).
That being said, query your mdl_user table for auth=manual - accounts that will auth using mdl_user table.
mysql> select id,firstname,lastname,username from mdl_user where auth='manual';
The guest account, using or not using is ID 1 and set to manual and probably should remain. User ID 2 was/is the first person to install ... default for login name was 'admin'. ID 2 is probably the one you want to change.
There is a command line only script in code/admin/cli/ that can reset manual accounts (need ssh access to server).
cd /path/to/moodlecode/admin/cli/
php reset_password.php [ENTER]
You will be pompted for the user name first.
Then the new password ... in clear text but no worries there ... you are in an ssh shell.
One can also set an account to be admin via config.php by adding a line:
$CFG->siteadmins='2,#,#';
where #,# are user ID numbers from mdl_user table.
Using config.php file should be last resort ... just to get in an set users desired to admin levels. Once you have admin users squared away, comment out the CFG line in config.php and it's no longer in affect. Comment out by adding // in front of the line.
Might leave the line in config.php just in case you need such 'back doors' in near future.

Dear Rick,
Many thanks for making and sharing those videos. They helped me out a lot! Had to wait a little while until the circumstances ofr upgrading were optimal, but everything worked out following your video!
Best,

Hi everybody,
I just installed this H5P plugin in order to create some powerpoint slides.
Once my work is done and the slides are ready to be studied, I cannot find an option to make each single slide mandatory to be seen, I mean I would like to make the student to see each single slide before going to the next activity.
Someone could help me with this request?
Thanks in advance.
Trying to complete a fresh install of 3.9.2+ on Debian 10 OS.
First I hit this nasty and hard to find little bug (this needs a note in the install instructions for 3.9.x ASAP, please...): https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-69196 I applied the patch. That got the database creation to complete (tables created). Resulting install page showed success for all. Clicking the "continue" button at bottom of that page returns page with only the message:
"error/An error occurred whilst communicating with the server"
Multiple hits searching for that here and beyond, but none appear relevant to my situation.
No PHP errors from whatever throws this are showing up in the log. Logging is already on via apache/php config. The DB table create errors due to above bug showed up in the log.
Just to double down, I added the ini_set code in config.php as shown here: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/PHP_error_logs - still no php errors. One warning, which is not an error: "PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /content/lms.mydomain.tld/html/moodle/config.php:26) in /content/lms.mydomain.tld/html/moodle/lib/setuplib.php on line 1378"
Have restarted apache needless to say. Even went so far as to reboot the VPS. No change.
Session files are getting created in the moodle data directory. I can't verify they're valid, but they get created so sessions are at least being initialized enough to create a file. Content looks like for example:
USER|O:8:"stdClass":2:{s:2:"id";i:0;s:10:"mnethostid";s:1:"1";}SESSION|O:8:"stdClass":0:{}
The fail presumably occurs somewhere in next steps of code to initialize the moodle install - config.php calls ../lib/setup.php (required once only )and that calls a bunch of other stuff. Somewhere along the way there's an error that is not putting anything in the log.
Any insights on this appreciated. At this point I am dead in the water. So much for "easy to get started..."
Hi communnity!
I just downloaded the app from MAC 37.8 and I am having issues to have it functioning.
Once downloaded the app, I try to switch on the servers but remains off all the time, the power button never gets green.
Then I write at the broader localhost:8888/MAMP and seems to be okay, but in localhost:8888/moodle there is an error message.
Database connection failed
It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.
The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php
Hi Kevin, this is a typical request from Articulate users 🙂. It's not possible. An alternative is to create a short quiz after the presentation to be sure that students have understood the content presented before moving to the next activity.
