What $CFG->dbtype are you using? 'SQLSRV or 'MSSQL'?
Have you configured PHP so that it can connect to your SQL Server? Does PHPInfo() show a SQLSRV and/or MSSQL section?
Hi. Is this still a problem?
If so, how are you connecting to the Moodledata drive on the NFS?
What have you put in your $CFG->dataroot?
No one but those who have ssh/ftp access should be able to retrieve the conf file for your web server. DO NOT share it back here, either. IF you do download via FTP and edit, make sure you use a text editor ... NOT Word! Don't edit unless you know what you are doing ... could make matters worse.
Remotely hosted on shared system? Where hosted? Package is shared or standalone (ie, dedicated to just your usage)? Since you've mentioned you have a 'webmaster' am assuming that means the system is not on a shared host and dedicated to just your entities usage, but ... then again ... who knows! Can't do vulcan mind melds.
Your webmaster should be able to help. If not, get another webmaster! ;)
What I gave you was an example ... obviously, it didn't work ... not all Linux systems are configured exactly the same. Webmasters have their preferences as well. But, at least you know for what you are looking ... and on the path to resolving your issue. moodledata needs to be readable/writable by the web server user (www-data or apache2) and the config.php file of Moodle needs to know the full path to it's data folder.

New install, 2.0.11 - unique working directory, database and dataroot on server/website with 1.9.12+ running.
I get to plugins check - then select "upgrade" and I get Errors as follows:
GET http://www.mywebsite.com/moodle/theme/styles.php?theme=standard&rev=1 500 (Internal Server Error) index.php:29
GET http://www.mywebsite.com/moodle/theme/javascript.php?theme=standard&rev=1&type=head 500 (Internal Server Error) index.php?confirmplugincheck=1:38
Thanks for all these advices. Will try again once I receive details from my webmaster.
Hi,
We had this exact problem, but the commands above weren't enough. We ran:
alter table mdl_log convert to character set utf8 collate utf_unicode_ci;
alter table mdl_cache_flags convert to character set utf8 collate utf_unicode_ci;
alter table mdl_user convert to character set utf8 collate utf_unicode_ci;
These convert not only the tables to the utf8_unicode_ci collation, but also all columns.
There are a few dozen other tables with the utf8_general_ci collation in our moodle schema but we have not altered them. Nevertheless, our cron is now succeeding.
Thanks for the pointer in the right direction.
Thank you for this conversation. Should I be able to add the third line to the editor as shown in the image? Just a little confused as we have just upgraded to 2.7.
I wish to add my point of view to the discussion - I do understand the accessibility issue - at my age I do get how critical this is. But, for me there are certain very basic functions that after working with word processing for the past 20 years - and two are to be able to change font size and the colors. I agree with the 80/20 statements being made - and I feel like the whole is being made less for the needs of the few. I think the people who created this need to have a little more faith in those of us that create the content - that we know our audience and our audience needs.
First thing I noticed when using 2.7 compared to 2.6 was the basic text editor. Why change something good to something bland and basic. A text editor which had choice of font size and colour and now doesn't? From a menu which was bright, easy, and versatile to use to something that appears dead, faded and grey, how on earth does that help the poorly sighted?
It now looks like what was a perfectly good editor to one now that no longer functions properly.
In your config.php file, try this line
$CFG->slasharguments = false;
Hi Nancy,
Just select the Show more buttons button at the upper left corner:
That's what I did. Back to Poodll and tinymce.

Greetings Al and thank you so much for the excellent response. I switched over to TinyMCE and now see the font and font size buttons. Were you able to add the plugins to the ATTO editor? Again, my deep thanks for your help. Nancy K.
I did not realize how connected I was to color of the icons until everything turned gray. Now I have to go and read them - instead of just knowing. Maybe this Gray plaque is actually a promotion for 50 Shades of Gray - opening soon? But, I will say - that there are many people - who are dependent on the colors to see the options clearly - my husband being one of them.
We too had the same error, the only difference being a different context in the debug info.
It appears that to install correctly the flashcard activity needs to use an existing valid matching question. The one that it chose on our installation was linked to a context that no longer existed. We solved this by finding the question_category in the mdl_question_categories table associated with this context. In the mdl_question table we found the questions in this category. There were two matching questions so we changed their category to one associated with a valid context.
On adding a new flashcard set the module unfortunately chose another problem question but repeating the procedure above for the new context finally cured the problem and we can now add new flashcard activities.
The path seems to be /home/extendco/moodledata and the privileges set correctly ... but getting a withe page now when going on www.extend-coaching/moodle ????????
link is dead.
