Hi Chris,
Along with what Usman says, you should not have any problem. I have a test sever running PHP 5.5.25 on which I have one of each Moodle from 1.9.19+ all the way to Moodle 2.9.0+ and they all work just fine.
Hi Chris,

Thanks for your opinion. Unfortunately it is not an option.
I have a related question.
I have several moodle dev instances on my Windows 8.1 (64 bit) PC (Intel i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, pretty recent PC). Whenever I'm running the older "Moodle packages for Windows" (XAMPP v1.7.4), I can feel it's MUCH faster. However, the problem is that with XAMPP v1.7.4, I can not run Moodle 2.7.x or above, it will prompt me that:
Moodle 2.7 or later requires at least PHP 5.4.4 (currently using version 5.3.5).
Please upgrade your server software or install older Moodle version.
For Moodle 2.6.x or below, XAMPP 1.7.4 runs beautifully.
Am I the only one who experience this issue? Is there something I can do to improve the performance of XAMPP 1.8.2-4 Portable running on my Windows 8.1 PC? Is there any known issue with PHP 5.4.25 (included in xampp 1.8.2-4 portable which came with Moodle 2.7.x or above Moodle packages for Windows)? Many thanks!
Hi Usman,
Thanks for letting me know. I'll try doing it and let you know.
Regards,
Chris
Thanks Al for letting me know!
I am trying to upgrade from Moodle 2.6 to 2.9 but I got the following error:
Moodle 2.7 or later requires at least PHP 5.4.4 (currently using version 5.3.28).
Please upgrade your server software or install older Moodle version.
I am sure that PHP 5.5.11 is installed in the server.
Please help

Hi Usman and AL,
I created moodle 2.0 and moodle 2.8 on the same server and it works fine. Thanks for your help.
I am trying to find out where, if anywhere, cronjob output is logged. I get an email for each execution saying the result is "OK", but I want to see in detail what is really being done.
Al, just out of curiosity, why so many versions, even since 1.9?
On most linux systems, if you insert a MAILTO="xxxx@example.com" above your cron entry in crontab, it will email you the output of the cron task. Note that MAILTO applies to all following tasks, so if you only want it for that on, insert MAILTO="" after your cron job to again disable the email.
Yes, thank you.
I should have mentioned that I have no direct access to managing cron tasks. All I have is an interface provided by the hosting company that allows me to configure jobs, including being informed by email of job executions. However, the email I receive does not give any details of the jobs executed, such as you might see when running admin/cron.php from a web browser. That is why I ask if that information is logged anywhere so I can access it without depending on email messages.
Ah...
You could try to pipe the output to a file in your home directory. I do it like this:
php /path/to/moodle/admin/cli/cron.php >~/_cron/moodle-cron.log
In other words, it's only logged if you make it log.
Thanks, Bret. That's right, but I don't have access to the CLI. All I can do in the interface I have is to provide the URL of the script to be executed.
I do not know if it is possible to include the pipe within that URL.
Alternately, I suppose it should be possible to include commands within the cron.php itself to output to a file, or put a wrapper around that file to handle it. But I am not sure how to do that, and am wary of modifying these files.
Hi!
We would like to know if Moodle is working correctly if Transfer-Encoding is chunked (in fact, all its upload forms). If chunked mode is enabled, content-length is not send in the header so, depending on the code, some upload forms may not work (for instance, we have seen in the code that WebDav repository may not work). Is there any restriction/recommendation/requirement for this configuration in Moodle and/or any developed third plugin?
Thanks in advance and best wishes from Barcelona,
Sara
Hi Tifano,
What was your solution?
We have exactly the same problem. We are also moving to Office 365.
Thanks for any help.

So the cron scheduler in your control panel doesn't allow running a script--just accessing a URL? Then I guess this is really a question for your hosting company. Non-standard server environments can make it difficult to get what you need.
Hi Marilyn,
It does look like your course administration block is hidden.
Can you check if its hidden -
- Go to https:<moodle_url>/admin/blocks.php
- From the blocks list, check if 'Administration' hide/show eye is checked or unchecked.
- Enable and you should be able to see administration block again site-wide
Hi,
The error -
"Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/learning/local/msaccount/msaccount_client.php' (include_path='/var/www/html/learning/lib/zend:/var/www/html/learning/lib/pear:.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/learning/local/onenote/classes/api/base.php on line 127"
seems to imply, 'msaccount_client.php' script is not found in this location '/var/www/html/learning/local/msaccount/'. If you have access to the server where moodle is hosted, can check if msaccount_client.php is available
$ ls /var/www/html/learning/local/msaccount/
If its not available may be it must have been missed while you were copying codebase. If you copy that script across, it should be back to its working state.
I can see this issue being reported in Moodle Trackerhere .
I suppose moodle cron must be sending out forum emails to users with no issues as its just a notice. It seems to be an issue with phpmailer version. In Moodle tracker they are suggesting -
to rename the original phpmailer and placing the one exist in version 2.4.7. This seems to have resolved the issue.
