DISASTER has struck and I need to reload Moodle on Hostgator
by Christopher Britt.
Hi all,
As it says in the title disaster has struck, for some unknown reason my inode count was going through the roof and I started to poke around in file manager. Once there, I found that I had 12 copies of Moodle 2.6 installed, and I didnt install them. So, i contacted Hostgator and asked them to restore my webpage but with the inode being over the limit they had no back ups stored
I then spent a morning online chatting to one of them and they said that they hadn't seen anything like this before and would contact a senior person for more info. I got their response this morning, they don't delete files on customers servers and now I need to get my file manager back to basics before I re install the monster, this time it will be 3.3 and not the old 2.6 that I previously had installed.
I have copies of my .sql file and backups that were made of my moodle2.6 web-page and hopefully I will be able to get it back and working properly again.
The problem that I have is I can't find info on what I should and shouldn't have in my file manager and until I do I can't move forward.
Please can anyone help me and point me in the right direction?

Re: problems with Moodle 3.3

As somebody who works in IT Security:
1. Put HTTPS on Moodle.
2. Stop using Windows XP, which has not received security updates for over 3 years. Yes, this impacts Moodle, because if you're a system administrator of your Moodle instance you are opening your administrator credentials up to and thus your site, a major exploit. There's no excuse to be using it any more.

Re: DISASTER has struck and I need to reload Moodle on Hostgator
volgens Matt T.
Did you manually install Moodle or use Hostgator's auto installer?
Unless you want a clean-start, it won't be simple.
For a start, now is a good time to consider whether your future will involve shared hosting. Going forward, it will become more and more difficult to run Moodle without your own server. Especially if your end goal is 3.3, and you will most likely need to convert the tables to Barracuda as part of the upgrade.
The two things in your file manager should be1. Your 2.6 moodle root folder (where all the .php files live) - there should only be one, not 12. Probably the oldest one is the correct one (are they named Copy or something?)
2. Your moodledata folder - which contains, inter alia, uploaded files.
The next step would be to copy over the correct moodle root folder (I don't know why hostgator would have multiple copies), moodledata and the .SQL dump to another server (compress it first if you can - I think cpanel offers this).. You can then restore the .sql dump and follow the instructions https://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Moodle_migration
You need to get 2.6 working before you worry about anything else. Ideally not on shared hosting.
You will not be able to upgrade to 3.3 directly. You first need to upgrade to 2.7: https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.7
Then you can, from there, repeat the process to 3.3: https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Upgrading
This time, you will want to take backups.

Re: DISASTER has struck and I need to reload Moodle on Hostgator
volgens Christopher Britt.
Thank you so much for the response, however I've managed to load 3.3 on hostgator and now I need to get my head around the back office bit and try and re install the course and info ASAP.
I've had to do everything from new, sql, database etc so I think that I'm going to have fun and may have to learn a lot FAST! Fortunatley the majority of my students are local Spanish, that's another way to say BLOODY LAZY, they finished school, uni etc at the end of June and do nothing for nearly 4 months, then come back having forgotten everything that they have learned.
This is going to be fun
Looking at cpanel on Hostgator just by loading Moodle I've gone from 4000 inodes to nearly 50000 with a limit of 100000, that worries me because I have four English course with a lot of audios that are going to I imaine totally hammer the inodes.

PS I`ll give you an unpdate late because I´m still worried about some of the stuff that I still have on the server.

Re: DISASTER has struck and I need to reload Moodle on Hostgator
by Christopher Britt.
Yeah, you´re right I have to go back to 2.6 which isn't a problem but I need to use my existing SQL and datbase which is something that I can't get my head round at the moment.
My biggest concern is what do I need in my file manger and what can I delete¿?¿?¿?¿?

Bad formatted page after Installation
by Andreas Schoeppach.
Hi all,
I have installed the newest version of moodle on a german Webspace provider called 1und1. After installation of moodle, I get this bad looking page. Reading the source code of the page, I think there is a problem with the caching, because he can't find the corresponding cached javascript files.I have installed moodle 3.3.1+, the recent version. The web server uses fastcgi and php version 7.0.22.
Can anyone help me with this problem, please ?

Re: You can only restore front page backups on the front page
by Michael Rhodes.
You hit the nail on the head - there is a setting in IIS (Request Filtering) that limits file transfer to about 26 mb. If you go into IIS and double-click Request Filtering - then click on 'Edit Feature Settings' in the action panel - you should see 'Maximum allowed content length (Bytes). I set mine to 1073741824 (which works out to 1G). I know this is a reply on an old post - but I hope that helps anyone who might come across it.

Re: Can't install plugins
by Gavin Henrick.
Hi Marc,
It is most likely the setup of the hosting company you are using. When a company hosts Moodle for a school, they usually provide a SLA (service level agreement). To be able to do this, they would need to ensure that the user could not change the code of the application themselves (by uploading plugins for example).
I suggest you contact your hosting company.
Regards
Gavin

Hi Ripa,
It would be best to get in contact with Panopto directly, to see if they can assist you with their integration.

It is working with the workaround $CFG->slasharguments = false ;
In the phpinfo

Does anyone have a solution without the workaround?

New install? What are you installing on? I see Xamp - is this a Windows install?
If brand new, I would start again...

Moodle 3.3.1+ - Build 08242017 - Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required - Notice: Undefined variable: CFG
by Brad Howe.
Hi Group,
I have a config issue I am unable to identify. Why is my PHP not following relative paths?
Apache/2.4.25 (Unix)
PHP 7.1.6
getcwd() = /www/moodle/moodle/mod/forum
$test = (__DIR__ . '/../../config.php');
test = /www/moodle/moodle/mod/forum/../../config.php
When we load, http://domain.com/mod/forum/index.php?id=30
Notice: Undefined variable: CFG in /www/moodle/moodle/mod/forum/locallib.php on line 22
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /www/moodle/moodle/mod/forum/locallib.php on line 22
Warning: require_once(/mod/forum/lib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/moodle/moodle/mod/forum/locallib.php on line 22

This makes sense as the config.php is not parsed properly.
