Re: Installing Error
by AL Rachels.
Hi Annie,
They are great for anyone wanting to have a small server that they can try things on and not have to worry about affecting their production server. All the different software out there for them will let you try just about any stack combination you want. Typically, I can write an operating system on to a MSDC memory chip and in about two hours have Moodle up and running with all the latest updates applied. What's really nice is to get a few of the MSDC storage cchips, at least 8GB size and class 10, and you can create various software combinations to see which one you like the most, For instance, I've seen so many comments about Nginx supposedly being faster than Apache as a web server, and PostgreSQL being better than MySQL/MariaDB, so right now I am playing around with a Pi 3 using Raspbian Jessie with Pixel, Nginx, PostgreSQL, and PHP 7.
Funny thing about this combination, so far I am running into the same problem a number of folks have reported where the Moodle installation gets stuck when trying to edit the admin user. Can't change the password.
But the combination of Raspbian Jessie with Pixel or Jessie Lite, using Apache2, MariaDB 10, and PHP 7 with Moodle 3.2 works perfectly every time, including Unoconv.

Re: Stylesheet issue with moodle3.2.1
by AL Rachels.
Hi Thorsten,
I started playing with a Pi 3 yesterday running Raspbian Jessie with Pixel, PHP7, PostgreSQL, and Nginx when I ran in to the same problem with trying to setup the admin account password. Turns out to have been caused by the Nginx sites_available configuration not being set up to support 'slash arguments'. Once I changed the 'location' line from this: location ~ \.php$ { to this: location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { it started working correctly.

Just in case someone runs across this..."Funny thing about this combination, so far I am running into the same

Re: Installing Error
by Annie Garwood.
Hi again Al,
Mmmmmm, well that sounds way too confusing for me to think about at this stage. Thanks for the info though I will file it for future thought.
Well after a few hours today looking into the suggestions on here, my conclusion is that I'm going to try to set up a sub-domain on my current website. I don't want to delete this website until I have the new Moodle one set up to the same stage.
So this is what I have currently,
A website using Joomla, not finished, but after seeing Moodle it fits our needs so much better.
1. So today I have created a subdomain using cPanel 62.0.16. and hosting through Mammoth (an Australian company) Now if I have it right the URL should be 'test.website.com' (is this right?)
2. Then created a database and user for that sub-domain. Pretty simple!
3. Now just checking, should I have made the 'document root' /public_html/test ? I hope so, as that's where I put it, if not where should it go.
OK my next question is: To install moodle to this subdomain, I open 'File Manager' and upload the Moodle zip file. But do I 'extract' the files and place in that 'public_html/test' folder. I read somewhere that you make a folder outside the public_html folder and place there. So after seeing both places mentioned I'm now very confused. And don't really want to mess up our current site. By the way I have backed up our site, just in case.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Annie

Re: Can't get through the installation process! Problem with admin account setup
by AL Rachels.
Sorry to see that you gave up. I think the problem was your Nginx was not set to support "slash arguments". I was setting up a server with Nginx yesterday and ran into the same problem of not being able to set up the admin account. Once I changed the sites_available default configuration 'location' line from this: location ~ \.php$ { to this: location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { it started working correctly.

Re: Stylesheet issue with moodle3.2.1
by Thorsten Rochelmeyer.
Hi AL,
thanks for your response. That was exactly what was wrong with my server configuration. Moodle is basically working now. I just forgot to mention that in this forum.
The embarassing part of the story is, that the installation pages in the moodle documentation tell you to make exactly this setting within the nginx.conf. I just did not read it!
The cubie is pretty fast, once the stylesheets have been generated. But i guess the Pi3 could have even more power. Please keep us updated on how it is working with moodle.
Have Fun!

Re: php upgrade
by Ken Task.
You can always check on requirements for MySQL/PHP versions via:
https://download.moodle.org/releases/latest/
https://download.moodle.org/releases/supported/
Releases column on the right of above pages let's you navigate.
Think the strategy should be to 'future proof' as far upwards as you can without crossing over into 'bleeding edge'. And if going to 'bleeding edge' then do so on a sandbox server/instance so you won't break the other productions.
Clear as mud, huh? :|

Re: Stylesheet issue with moodle3.2.1
by AL Rachels.
I don't really know anything about the cubie and the place I normally buy stuff from doesn't list them at all. A really nice thing about the Pi 3 is that the extra Moodle 'speed' you get from running PHP 7, makes it peppy enough to make a nice development system. And, since they are relatively cheap, you can have multiple Pi's running just about any version of Moodle you might need. It is a cheap way to keep a site archived and available for immediate use.
It's been a lot of fun, and sometimes frustrating, too. I've also been trying to document step-by-step directions for each combination of software I've used. Right now I'm going through installing MathJax on the server too, so I can use some extra extensions, plus all the stuff needed to make the algebra and Tex notation filters work.
Individual Pi 3's are easy to set up once you figure out the "got chas" like having to setup the slash argument thing for Nginx, or using the Stretch repo to get PHP 7 and more up-to-date versions of some other things like LibreOffice, unoconv, etc.
The project that is giving me the most problem is a five Pi Moodle cluster. I have it up and running, but no one seems to have come up with a reliable way to use both the wifi and ethernet port at the same time so the traffic from one member of the cluster to another, can be isolated from the rest of the network in my house. I've tried a bunch of tutorials but they all seem to be for Pi 2's and Pi 1's and Raspbian Wheezy. Raspbian Jessie just doesn't seem to want to let you use wifi and ethernet at the same time.

Problems with incoming mail: reply to forum posts by email
by Rob Mills.
HI,
I have followed setup instructions and trawled through the conversations about this topic to no avail. I have reply to posts by email set. The a forum notification is sent there is what looks like a valid reply address. The the reply is sent is land up in the relevant folder in the dedicated mailbox. It seems Moodle is not picking these mails up though.
Cron output shows: Inbound Message not fully configured - exiting early
I have used exactly the same settings as used in my mail client to access the mailbox. I have enabled "reply to posts" message handler. Is there some way I can test access to the incoming mailbox, similar to the mail_test plugin for outgoing mail. It seems the message handler is not fetching the incoming mail and I can't work out where its getting stuck.
Any insights would be very welcome.
Moodle 3.2.2 (Build: 20170313)

Both errors reference the necessary documentation - have you looked at that? You need to make some changes to your database format.

Re: 3.2.2 upgrade
by Rick Jerz.
Marina, I am glad to see you jump in with this issue. Thanks. You make me glad that I opened the Tracker issue. I see that it is getting some attention.
For me, the "undefined" error is intermittent still. I haven't had time to try your suggestion, but maybe later this week I will.
Hopefully, the Tracker item will give others a place to share their observations and suggestions. And then the problem will be fixed.

Re: I can login as the admin, but not as a user (500 Internal Server Error)

I did not find anything in the IIS log that was useful, but I did check the PHP error log and I see a lot of this:

Re: Unable to Upgrade to 2.2.6 Version of Moodle Due to Pool File Content Error
by Adam Jenkins.
So sorry to bear bad news, but I'm doubtful a satisfactory solution for your problem exists. The differences between 1.9 and 2.x were so immense that the upgrade was quite difficult. Also, many plugins that were available for 1.9 were not carried straight over to 2.x.
I recommend you plan a fresh start on 3.2 and retiring your 1.9 system. Those older systems are no longer supported anyway (security updates etc).
Best of luck!

Re: Unable to Upgrade to 2.2.6 Version of Moodle Due to Pool File Content Error
by Howard Miller.
Just to add that Adam may well be right. Upgrading from 1.9 does go smoothly for some but if it doesn't you could be in for a lot of grief.
A similar sounding problem to yours was fixed, but not until Moodle 2.6 which doesn't help you at all.
I would seriously consider just installing the latest Moodle and rebuilding your courses. It may be quicker, less stressful and what you end up with will be much better.

Re: I can login as the admin, but not as a user (500 Internal Server Error)
by Daniel Williams.
I'm still having the original problem, but I removed the opcache extension to get rid of this other error. I restarted IIS and verified that removing opcache didn't break something else. I can still reach the site and log in as the admin. But I'm still getting the 500 error when logging in as a regular user.
Sidebar: I want to use opcache, since it's recommended (better performance), but it requires me to do things beyond my experience: compile PHP with the --enable-opcache option. (http://php.net/manual/en/opcache.installation.php) I'm going to leave that turned off for now.
So the PHP error is gone, but back to my original problem - the only log that I can find, beyond the PHP error log, is in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles. There are two folders and folder 2 is the one created for my new Moodle website. Yet the log files do not give me any error detail. They just include GET and POST statements.

Re: I can login as the admin, but not as a user (500 Internal Server Error)
by Howard Miller.
You've found the 'access log'. If you don't find the 500 error in the log then you're looking in the wrong place.
I know next to nothing about Windows but I recall reading that IIS needs error logging to be enabled somewhere. I don't know if that helps.
You really do need to log and find the 500 Error to see what it is getting upset about. Otherwise, we're just guessing and that's rarely terribly productive
