Thanks Howard
I have always appreciated using softaculous is probably not the best option for the reason you point out. Unfortunately for a non-computer scientist it is the "easy" option - until something goes pear shaped.
I still have the softaculous backups. Is their a way of installing a fresh instance of moodle 2.4.3 onto my site and then transfering the course structure and associated files to the new install?
cheers
Howard
