Importancy and risk of moodle data folder with upgrade from 3.10.6 to 3.11.2
When upgrading from 3.10.6 to 3.11.2 an error message appeared, notifying that PHP scripts of 2 different moodle versions are detected in de moodle data folder. The error message recommends to rename the old data folder tot eg data_old and install a clean new data folder, followed by copying relevant non-standard plug-in files from the old data folder (of previous version) to the new data folder.
Questions:
- Which folder within the data folder, containing additional plug-in files, need to be copied exactly (as there is not a root 'plug-in' folder in the data folder.
- Which type of data does it really concern as core plugin software (including additional themes) are installed in the theme folder within the public_html
- Is there any other relevant data lost when installing a new data folder?
(e.g. pictures, logos from courses, user data etc.)
Thanks in advice for replying

As requested please find the adjacent error message as requested (translated from Dutch to English)
Re: Importancy and risk of moodle data folder with upgrade from 3.10.6 to 3.11.2
This error refers to the Moodle source code folder not the data folder ("Moodledata"). Your source code folder contains some 3.10 files and 3.11 files. The folder should only contain the source code of the target Moodle version, 3.11 in this case. To fix this, as the error states:
* rename the current Moodle directory to "moodle_old"
* create a new Moodle directory containing only files from either a standard Moodle package download, or from the Moodle Git repository
* move the original config.php file and any non-standard plugins from the "moodle_old" directory to the new Moodle directory
These are also the steps described in the documentation which includes the warning Do NOT copy new files over the old files to avoid this error.
If you're still having problems with this error, please describe the steps you are following to prepare the Moodle source code folder for version 3.11, for example how you are downloading and extracting this.

@Koca
This thread is a classic example of why one should NOT ... repeat should NOT ... piggy-back on someone else's posting.
Strongly suggest you make a new posting with description of your problem. Responses in the new posting won't be confused with the other user in this thread.

@K ...
Use this sites PM and shared with me the URL to your site. Want to check that you do indeed have proper DNS records entered.
As to ssl certs ... answer depends upon where you purchased your certificates. CA's might different directions on how to install based upon type of cert and platform. Consult CA's docs.
The focus of Moodle community forums is supposed to be on Moodle ... not how to setup an Internet server .... any platform. For info on how to setup an internet server, consult platforms docs.

Re: CSS/JS/Images stopped loading suddenly (probably because slash arguments)
Hi there,
I was fighting the same issue today, but fresh install or changing PHP versions did not change anything for me.
But I managed to find a nginx configuration the did the job:
Of course you need to replace <domain-name>
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/vhosts/system/<domain-name>/php-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
That worked for me on Plesk Obsidian with PHP 7.4.22 and 7.3.29
Please note that I still have
- php-fpm served by Apache enabled
- in the nginx settings, only "proxy mode" is enabled, intelligent handling of static files, direct handling of static files and nginx caching are disabled
Using "php-fpm served by nginx" does not seem to work, at least not with the nginx config above.
Hope it helps,
Christian Toller

Might be worth raising an issue against the theme.
Re: Unable to delete Activity / Resoiurce after upgrade to Moodle 3.11
There was a similar sounding issue that was fixed a few days ago. You may want to try the updated version in the Adaptable source code repo.

Hi Ken,
Will you outline and share with me recommended OS and DB requirements for moodle 3.11.2?

Hmmmm ... no PM response ... well, ok ... :|
Thought you already installed a CentOS 8? In your case it's a matter of configuration of the AMP stack on that server.
Think I've already said it, but repeat ... differently with links?
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_3.11_release_notes
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Installing_Moodle
Section on 'Set up your server'
As far as operating system, think you'll find more support in Moodle Community for Ubuntu (a long term support version) - currently 20.04.2
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
or CentOS
https://www.centos.org/cl-vs-cs/
Can't pick for you ...

Confirm this total guess ... unless I've now confused your issue K with the OP that started this thread.
What does the config.php file in moodle code directory/folder say for DB host?
Am guessing you pointed that line to the old server MS-SQL DB server.
So that means you have new code - 3.11.x - and the MS-SQL DB needs to be upgraded from 3.6 -> 3.11 - or I should say moodle is gonna try that ... and probably fail. That's too many hops of moodle versions away.
If I am correct in the guess, it's why you see the GUI screen of all plugins needing to be upgraded ... and why there are rows that say missing from disk .... your old site had tons of plugins and your new code consist only of core code. You did not pre-install the files for all the addon plugins.
Thought I had suggested your path of least resistance was to make course backups from old system and attempt restores of those courses in the new 3.11 system. But, I can see now that even that will have some issues depending upon what is in a course backup. Games add on is an example. There is no Games add on that is compat with 3.11.
Also suggested that you should research each addon plugin you have installed on old system to see if there was a compatible 3.11 version of it. If you don't do that, there will be issues with restoring the course backups.
Ok, I've attempted to assist as much as I can. FREE assistance is only as good as the accuracy of the OP's posted information. The old saying of 'junk in ... junk out'. :|

Course Feedback Activity reports?
We have a Feedback Activity on all our courses to get Students input about the quality of the course. I cannot find how to pull a report showing the feedback ratings, except to look at each individual course one at a time.
Is there a plugin or other way to pull reports? I'd like to see:
- number of responses for each course
- average response for each question (we only have 5 questions)
I can pull the open field comment section on courses that I see are having poor feedback, so I don't need that in the report.
Please advise . . . . .

Re: Automated and Manual backups do not finish
No idea what this error means.
Anyone?
Processing asynchronous backup for backup: 3f5ff7d8aca224fb552d28f75b80f496
Bad backup controller status, is: 800 should be 700, marking job as failed.
