Just make sure you ch= eck for available updates (via the button for it) at the Plugins check scre= en. Don't forget to make moodle/config.php (and the rest of the source code) re= adable by your www server. For maximum security the files should not be wri= teable by your server. This is especially important on a 'production' serve= r open to the public internet. My Moodle Update Download https://guefiqsupa.blogspot.com/?ga=3D2wHe4X If your server uses a main language other than English, you may encounter a= 'Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded' when you try = to upgrade it. You can increase max_execution_time =3D 160 on php.ini to al= low the scripts enough time to process the language update. Otherwise, you = can switch to English as the default language before doing the upgrade and = back to your original language after a successful upgrade. See the forum di= scussion at =3D119598. Additionally, when using Scalelite as the Load Balancer for BigBlueButton, = make sure the latest version is deployed. With any other Load Balancer, mak= e sure the BigBlueButton service updateRecordings is correctly implemented.= Otherwise the migration will not be completed. I have a custom moodle mobile app, already released. Can someone outline th= e process for keeping it updated? Which rep. should i use for pulling code?= I just need hints to be sure that i don't mess up. Thanks. Moodle continually updates its software versions as a continued effort to b= ring the best and most secure version of Moodle. When a new version comes o= ut, you can upgrade your existing version by using Softaculous. This articl= e will teach you how to upgrade your Moodle software through Softaculous. As for importing, that is for when you have a moodle instance that was not = installed by the Softaculous. The import simply enters it into the Softacul= ous. It does not change anything else such as version. Once imported, it wi= ll display in the Softaculous and you can then use the upgrade feature. The course index on the left side of courses, which is useful for navigatin= g between sections and chapters, has been made collapsible with this update= to provide you a distraction-free view of your reading. When you need to j= ump to a chapter or a chapter, you can expand it again. A while back, we started receiving emails from the moodle server saying tha= t moodle needs to be upgraded. No problem right? I'll just log in to the mo= odle site and hope there's a built-in upgrade tool. Wrong... nothing there.= Ok, I'll try an apt-get. I update the apt-get and search the cache for moo= dle. Then I run a moodle upgrade like this: apt-get upgrade moodle. It's do= es it's thing with a few prompts along the way, all of which i reply with "= y" or "yes". Upon completion I check the moodle server... nope still on ver= sion 2.4.3. Hmmm, ok so now I add mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu repository thin= king maybe the built-in repositories don't have the newer(est) version(s) o= f moodle... yea in short don't do that. I broke apt-get as it was throwing = dpkg errors... so I quit fighting that a reloaded the VM. Alright, back to square one here. I can't use apt-get to upgrade moodle in = turnkey. So I start reading about tklbam. Cool, I'll give that a try. Enter= your API-KEY... what's that? I continue reading. Ah, apparently it wants m= e to sign-up for an Amazon S3 account or like. No thanks, I don't want to d= o that. I just want to upgrade Moodle!! Now I should mention that I'm a RedHat guy, in that I'm much more proficien= t and comfortable there. Debian-based systems like Turnkey/Ubuntu are fine = but just not my expertise. So I think, hey maybe I can just migrate the moo= dle site from Turnkey over to a CentOS implementation. Well in short that d= idn't work either. I was able to get it to work, kinda. But not entirely so= rather than continuing to fight with it, I thought I'd cry out to the Turn= key community for help. I can't be the only one in this boat... Anyone been= able to successfully upgrade moodle to the latest version (2.7)? When I st= arted this a few weeks back, the current moodle version was 2.6. Here's a l= ink to my Spiceworks thread for support on this same topic: -moodle-upgrade TBH I'm not quite where to start in responding to you! :) I think first thi= ngs first; TKL is no longer based on Ubuntu. It hasn't been since v11.x. As= of v12.0 it has moved to Debian. We made that decision based on the fact t= hat Debian is more stable and more secure (Ubuntu only has security updates= for packages in the 'main' repo; whereas Debian does them all!). Hence I s= uspect why things broke badly when you added an Ubuntu repo... Secondly as a seasoned Linux user (albeit RPM based rather than DEB based) = you'd understand that it is not uncommon for packages to have security patc= hes backported rather than versions updated. But as you also noticed, the T= KL Moodle appliance is not installed from package management. The reasons f= or that are 2 fold. Firstly, when we built v11.0, the version of Moodle in = Ubuntu 10.04 (the basis of TKL v11.x) repos was badly broken so we moved to= upstream install. Then when we transitioned to Debian Squeeze (for v12.0) = we stuck with upstream install as the Moodle version in Debian was earlier = to what was in v11.x (and we didn't want to go backwards...). Obviously make sure that you have a backup of your data before you do anyth= ing. I recommend TKLBAM but you can easily just do a DB dump and copy the /= var/www/moodle and /var/www/moodledata directories if you'd rather. Regardl= ess make sure you test your backup first! Jeremy - thanks for the reply. I ran into a problem where the default repos= don't allow upgrade to php 5.4.4, which is required for Moodle 2.7+. I add= ed deb wheezy main non-free contrib to the sources.list and tried to update= . In the process it is trying to update phpmyadmin, which requires db chang= es, which requires the default root admin password. I know I've come across= this before but I can seem to find it in any of my notes. What is the defa= ult root mysql password for TKL? You'll need to do something about that anyway as Debian 6 (aka Squeeze - th= e basis of v12.x) is officially EOL. Have a look at this blog post. v13.0 i= s based on Debian Wheezy (which has php5.4.x by default) so I suggest optio= ns 2 or 3. Once you've migrated/updated then follow my steps above. I tried updating to v7 on Friday but I think I messed up a prompt during th= e GRUB update because afterward it got stuck in a loop upon reboot. I'll tr= y it out again today or tomorrow barring I have time and see where I can ge= t. Thank you very much for your help! I'll update this thread with the resu= lts either way. After that, the upgrade to Debian 7.5 (Wheezy) was fairly straight-forward.= Some of the scripted tasks were a little bit misleading (ie: the grub upda= te). I ended up skipping it and manually running 'update-grub' after the di= st upgrade was completed. With the Debian OS successfully upgraded, I tested to see if Moodle was sti= ll operating under 2.4.X (I hadn't updated it yet). It was throwing a MySQL= error. I checked and the DB server wasn't running due to an error. A littl= e interweb searching yielded this: ,189835,237318#msg-237318. Apparently wh= en MySQL upgraded, one of the directives in a cnf file was deprecated and n= o longer supported. I had to edit /etc/mysql/conf.d/force_utf8.cnf and add = 'loose-' to the beginning of line 6. I know this isn't the best fix but it = at least got the server up and running. It's still fussing about this line = a little so I'll probably go back and look into a more permanent fix later. 1. You should start by putting your site into CLI maintenance mode (not mai= ntenance mode from inside Moodle) before you start your site backup. This d= isables any updates to the database and moodledata files thereby preserving= the integrity of both of these. Otherwise the cron job or admin user activ= ity in Moodle could cause these to fall out of sync with each other. You can update the theme just like a new installation: Go to "Administratio= n" > "Site administration" > "Plugins" > "Install plugins" and upload the c= orresponding installation file for your Moodle version there - that's all! Alternatively you can use an FTP client or perhaps your hosting service off= ers a control panel with a file manager. All you have to do is upload the f= iles from the new update to your Moodle 'theme' folder and overwrite the ex= isting files there - you don't have to temporarily switch to another theme = or shut down your site. When you log in as administrator again, you will re= ceive a notification to start the update process in Moodle: In keeping with our commitment to providing a robust teaching and learning = environment, we have several exciting Moodle updates and additions to share= . Most of these new tools were brought to our attention through our New Fea= tures Intake Qualtrics survey, which all LSU faculty and staff can use to r= equest new learning tools for Moodle. A few update highlights are described= below. The Dates tool allows instructors to change important dates for all course = activities and resources on one page. Start dates, end dates, due dates, an= d submit-by dates can now all be updated in one place. To find the Dates to= ol, log into your course and go to Course Administration > Reports > Dates.= For more information, see GROK article 20522. i create a course with multiple assessments and when i placed in moodle LMS= . 1st visit score is appearing after the 2nd visit the score is not updatin= g and the last visit page also not working. If i go any number of times it'= s going 1 time last visited page only. I have uploaded in moodle. Score is passing after visiting the 1st lesson, = after that score is not updating at the same time last visit page also not = working what ever the fist visit. it's going there only. What is confusing to me is that there are also settings in Site Administrat= ion > Plugins > Activity Modules > H5P > H5P Libraries to update content ty= pes. Once I update a content type in the Hub, it appears that the update ic= on becomes available on the admin page. Does the content type have to be up= dated in both places? It would seem innefficient to have to do so. eebf2c3492
