Re: 3.2.2 upgrade
by Rick Jerz.
Mary, Ken, and others,
I created a "bug" in Moodle Tracker for this problem, MDL-58310. Maybe some of you can add some comments to what I have posted.
This is a tough problem. I cannot force the "undefined" box to appear, it doesn't appear regularly, it is intermittent, and not too annoying.
Hope that my bug report in Moodle provides a place where more information can be provided.
As we discussed above, it might have something to do with user tours. I am not using user tours, but maybe some code for it gets initiated, and since I don't use tours, this undefined box appears. This is just a guess.
This problem only started appearing in Moodle 3.2. It might have something to do with the Boost theme code. I am using MORE.
(I am not sure about what Lee is referring to in the comment.)

Re: Moodle 3.0 with public ipv6 address
by Alexander Kahl.
Hi Ken,
thanks for the link - the current setup seems to be working so far. I'm using Debian Jessie with Apache 2.4 and the Apache Default Website works fine when using the ipv6 address. I already set a reverse dns entry for the server but have to wait till next week to set a dns entry. Just wondered if Moodle could work with ip address only but it doesn't seem to work out of the box without dns record and ipv6.

Re: Installing Error
by AL Rachels.
Hi Annie,
Even for me, Moodle on my desktop computer is a pain in the backside, and I've been playing with Moodle for long time.
Recently, I acquired a number Raspberry Pi 3's and learned how to put a development site comprised of Moodle 3.2.2, Raspbian Jessie with Pixel or Jessie Lite "Linux", Apache, Php 7, and MariaDB 10. If you have a Pi 3 or even a Pi 2 laying around and would like step-by-step directions on how to set it up, let me know. The directions even show how to setup unoconv to work "right out of the box." In my testing experience a Pi 3 is definitely more "peppy" than a Pi 2.

Re: Installing Error (off topic)

I don't know much about Raspberry Pis but there does seem to be quite a bit of success in setting up Moodles on Raspberry Pi - I know of this project: https://github.com/martignoni/make-moodlebox and also of this one https://moopi.uk/

3.2.2 installation problems - php.ini
by Annie Price.
Hi,
I have just downloaded the latest version of moodle for installation on shared hosting.
During the process I have 4 errors which I think I should post individually to save confusion.
(1)
| php_setting | opcache.enable | PHP opcode caching improves performance and lowers memory requirements, OPcache extension is recommended and fully supported. |
but I cannot find php.ini - the only file I can find is phpinfo.php
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Re: Upgrade 2.7 Antelope to Barracuda
by Annie Price.
Hi Usman,
I am back again - I have abandoned the 2.4 to 2.7 upgrade and have now decided to install 3.2.2. and copy the course file to there.
However, I now have exactly the same problem as I had in the beginning
| mysql_full_unicode_support#File_format | Your database has tables using Antelope as the file format. Full UTF-8 support in MySQL and MariaDB requires the Barracuda file format. Please convert the tables to the Barracuda file format. See the documentation Administration via command line for details of a tool for converting InnoDB tables to Barracuda. |
earlier you said
- "very unlikely you will be able to get to command line to make changes to fix this, speaking of which, this is an optional fix not even required one, where courses size are massive (in GB's) importing courses will require file format to be changed, else you can safely run your moodle without this as well. "
But the 3.2.2. installation will not proceed without this being fixed. If I cannot get to the command line what on earth can I do? Any Ideas?

Re: 3.2.2 installation problems - php.ini
volgens Annie Price.
Hi Howard,
Thanks for that information. I have followed your instructions and it says
| Configuration File (php.ini) Path | /etc/php56.ini.d/ |
However, the /etc directory does not seem to be accessible in my hosting !

Re: Moodle being routed via internet not intranet on LAN
volgens Ken Task.
Would highly recommend NOT attempting to apply what one might know about Windows local LAN/Domains to true "Internet' ... they do NOT equate.
A fully qualified domain name looks like moodle.mynet.net ... this is an example DO NOT USE IT in your config.
In your internal DNS setup, make 192.168.1.10 point to a fully quaified DNS domain name that your entity has registered with an Internet Registrar .... one example is the grand-daddy of them all ... Network Solutions.
To find out where your internet domain is registered, do a DNS lookup for NS (name server) records for your domain ... in the example: mynet.net ... replace mynet.net with your Internet domain name.
That would show the NAME servers on the outside of your LAN that have records for your servers.
Make an A record entry in the outside DNS server similar to the A record in private DNS .... only the mapped outside IP address that goes to the 192.168.1.10 is used.
Once having done that and have tested both inside and outside DNS resolution, you can then:
1. change the config.php fle wwwroot variable from the IP address you have in there to the FQDN.
and
2. login, the site may look wonky ... as long as you can navigate to http://FQDNofsite/admin/tool/replace/
where you search for http://192.168.1.10/ and replace with http://FQDN/
be sure to include the beginning http:// in front and the trailing / at the end.
*** JUST BEFORE doing the search and replace ... **** BACKUP YOUR DB ****.

Re: Upgrade 2.7 Antelope to Barracuda
volgens Usman Asar.
Hi Annie, Until 3.1 it was optional parameter, but as you mentioned and just to test I tried installing and confirmed now it's a required parameter, unless your hosting provider can make the changes for you, you are stuck with that, only option remains using 3.1 for now.

Re: Upgrade 2.7 Antelope to Barracuda
volgens AL Rachels.
What are you using to create the Moodle database. By any chance is it phpMyAdmin, or something like it. If so, you should be able to convert the tables in it.

Re: Moodle being routed via internet not intranet on LAN
volgens Maverick IT.
Sir,not only i get the ip address when I ping the hostname but also i m able to access it on intranet. I get the local private ip address when I ping the name . My only problem is , it gets routed via internet when after assiging the public ip in NAT...even at that time also the reply is from local host ip address(private ip) . but it takes lot of time to get the page dispalyed because it gets routed via internet

Re: 3.2.2 installation problems - php.ini
volgens Howard Miller.
In which case you will need to ask your hosting support what to do.
You can sometimes add PHP switches into an .htaccess file but there is no universal way to do this so I would ask.

Re: Database connection failed - Moodle 3.2.1

Moodle 3.2 or later requires at least PHP 5.6.5 (currently using version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.21).
Please upgrade your server software or install older Moodle version.

Re: Moodle being routed via internet not intranet on LAN
volgens Ken Task.
Basic concepts: networking (TCP/IP stack) comes before application (IIS Web server running Moodle) and Windows networking (UNC connections, etc. to other Windows servers) isn't the same as Internet (TCP/IP stack) networking. An Internet domain (esc3.net) isn't the same as a Windows domain (\esc3.local).
Some tools you will use/learn to use: ping, tracert, nslookup.
Major question ... which needs a response before discussion of what is really networking and NOT Moodle by itself (the topic of these community forums) ...
Question: do you have a fully qualified domain name you can use? *LIKE* mycompany.com
By that, I mean .. and these are real examples ... I used to work for an Education Service Center (ESC for short) in South Texas that provided Internet service for 38 school districts that were members of a wide area private network. The ESC, in order to provide internet services to those 38 school districts, had to register a full qualified domain name with an Internet Registrar ... used Network Solutions. The domain name that was registered was/is esc3.net.
On your PC, go to command line and try: nslookup esc3.net
On your PC, go to command line and try: ping www.esc3.net
On your PC, go to command line and try: tracert www.esc3.net
We'll stop at this point cause going forward involves too many if this, then that, etc. and is confusing.
So again, the question:
Do you have a fully qualified domain name [FQDN] ... registered at any registrar ... you can use?
What is that FQDN?

The references above might pertain to older versions of Windows and contain information that you would one would not use today. You probably can find the same information for the version of Windows you are using ... Windows 7? Use Google or Bing.
The above is required before you can set up and access your moodle server.

Re: php upgrade
by jobe jobe.
Yes, you're right Ken.
I have a VPS at Servint & on looking into the PHP upgrade the tech informed me that they are upgrading lots of servers from 32>64.
So I'm going to go for the PHP upgrade now on 32 bit.
The oldest versions on the Centos 7 are MySQL 5.5 and PHP 5.4 - I already have MySQL 5.4.28 & with the new PHP, so no upgrades at the same time of those.
So the idea is that all should go smoothly for the eight Moodles I have on the server.

Re: php upgrade
by Ken Task.
Well, yeah ... I'll bet they are upgrading lots of servers from 32. What took them so long? ;)
Still ... to be on the safe side .... and I did this with a RackSpace project ... make full individual moodle site backups (sql dump, code dir, data dir [might have to rsync data dirs], and archive them onto an instance on their network - no apps persay ... but enough space to hold the backups.
If you currently have any special tweaks, but you've not taken the time to write them up, archive config files ... not for restoring to new 64 bit boxen, just for reference.
Then pull the trigger knowing that your 'foot is out of the way'! ;)
