Hi I on Moodle 4.1.2+ (Build: 20230318) when inserting a HP5 file in a Question getting the following error. Appreciate any leads in fixing this error.
Looks like you've also changed your login name!!!!
First ... What Howard said!
So you have Moodle 4.1 (Build: 20221128) on production server running Ubuntu.
You should install same version on this test system.
Referring to:
http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases
The row for 4.1, php highest 8.1, MySQL I'd advise 8.0 miniumum.
So we now know that versions we are going after in order to run a 4.1.highest.
That should help you adjust your install commands for PHP and all the extensions required + php-cli.
As I already mentioned, providers ... the good ones ... have docs of their own for AMP stack. Is your production moodle hosted with DigitalOcean (DO)?
If so, here's DO's:
You would skip the composer part.
The moodle piece:
https://docs.moodle.org/404/en/Installing_Moodle
I suggest using Git versioning install.
https://docs.moodle.org/404/en/Installation_quick_guide
Does your system have a panel? If not, suggest also installing Webmin - you've done that before I think.

We had only few users with MFA enabled so we uninstalled MFA plugin, upgraded Moodle and enabled new MFA feature. Users set up their MFA factors again but it was no big deal because there were only few of them at the time.
Afrter changing line 390 of lib/classes/formatting.php to:
return $CFG->formatstringstriptags ?? 1;
I get:

Heh... It's looks terrible
I won't give up easily!
I will be grateful for your tips.
So you could install Webmin 'crutch' to help with setup of cron jobs!

Here we go again .. moodle is an iceburg ... you have been involved in what is above the water line (ie, the app itself - moodle) but are now (installing a fresh sandbox moodle) working at just below the water line ... PHP + PHP extensions + DB server.
While one could do all that via command line only, it's nice to have a 'crutch' ... like Webmin/Cockpit ... to help with things like cron's.
It is what it is ... FREE app and FREE Linux distro has never equated to 0 cost ... but normally, it's the time of just one person - YOU - the admin of both the distro and the moodle.
Those that pay the bills, really don't consider the number of hours you put into such a project - you get paid an hourly wage. The sooner you can ramp up how efficiently you can work which results in fewer hours spent, the better for you ... and your entity.
There is an un-intended consequence that bosses and those that pay the bills don't see nor consider ... you gain experience and expertise ... should you seek another position with another entity, you can include your experience/expertise with Linux server setups and apps like Moodle - that's a BIG plus ... they might be willing to pay you more than your current employer.
My 2 cents!

It looks like the install didn't complete successfully. During installation tables are created and should get populated with values but that error suggests these are missing. You can check this with the SQL query:
SELECT name, value FROM mdl_config WHERE name LIKE 'defaultpreference_%';
+-----------------------------------------------+-------+
| name | value |
+-----------------------------------------------+-------+
| defaultpreference_autosubscribe | 1 |
| defaultpreference_core_contentbank_visibility | 1 |
| defaultpreference_maildigest | 0 |
| defaultpreference_maildisplay | 2 |
| defaultpreference_mailformat | 1 |
| defaultpreference_trackforums | 0 |
+-----------------------------------------------+-------+
I've shown the output from my test site.
This problem is often caused by some timeout preventing the install script from completing, typically a web server timeout or PHP's max_execution_time being exceeded.
To resolve this:
Also, I've reported the error in the error handling (that needed the change in lib/classes/formatting.php to see the real error) as MDL-82323.
