Foire Aux Questions (FAQ)

Cette page propose les rÈponses ý quelques-unes des questions +les plus frÈquemment posÈes par les personnes qui installent Moodle. Si vous avez +suivi les instructions d'installation mais que +vous avez encore un problËme, cette page est vraisemblablement le meilleur +endroit o_ trouver de l'aide.

+ +

Si vous ne trouvez pas votre rÈponse ici, essayez le cours +Using +Moodle sur le site moodle.org. Commencez par chercher avec quelques mots +clefs dans les forums si votre problËme a dÈjý ÈtÈ discutÈ. Si vous ne trouvez +rien, essayez de poser votre question dans le forum appropriÈ. Habituellement +quelqu'un pourra vous aider.

+ +

Si vous avez assayÈ sans succËs plusieurs solutions et que vous +vous trouvez derriËre un pare-feu (firewall), il peut Ítre judicieux de reconfigurer +votre pare-feu pour Ítre sr qu'il ne bloque pas une fonction requise ou une +communication nÈcessaire. Les pare-feu ne causent que trËs rarement des problËmes avec +Moodle, mais ils sont parfois responsables de fonctionnalitÈ rÈduite, en cas de +mauvaise configuration.

+ + +

Quand je veux ou afficher un fichier +que j'ai dÈposÈ (tÈlÈchargÈ), une erreur "File not Found" survient.

+ +

PHP - is it installed and what version do I +have?

+ +

Why are all my pages blank?

+ +

My pages show fatal errors such as +: call to undefined function: get_string()

+ +

Why do I keep getting error messages +about "headers already sent"?

+ +

I keep getting this error: Failed +opening required '/web/moodle/lib/setup.php'

+ +

Any text I add with an apostrophe (') or a +quote (") causes errors or comes up with a slash added

+ +

I keep getting error messages about +session_start

+ +

When I go to the admin page, I get told +to make dirroot blank!

+ +

I login but the login link doesn't +change. I am logged in and can navigate freely.

+ +

When trying to add a resource I receive +error messages.

+ +

During the initial setting-up process, I +never get asked to create an admin account!

+ +

I can't log in at all- I just stay stuck +on the login screen.

+ +

How do I backup my Moodle site?

+ +

Why doesn't my Moodle site display the + + time & date correctly?

+ +

Email copies are not being sent + + from my forums

+ +

+ + +

Whenever I try to access or view +a file that I uploaded, I get an error "File not Found"

+ +

For example: Not Found: The requested URL /moodle/file.php/2/myfile.jpg + + was not found on this server.

+ +

Your web server needs to be configured to allow the part of + + the URL after a script name to be passed directly to the script. This is usually + + enabled in Apache 1, but is usually disabled by default in Apache 2. To turn + + it on, add this line to your httpd.conf, or to a .htaccess file in your local + + directory (see the Install documentation + + for more details):

+ +

AcceptPathInfo on

+ +

Note, this will ONLY work for Apache versions 2.x.

+ +

If you are not using Apache 2 and you still have this problem + + (unlikely) then you can switch Moodle to use an alternative method. The disadvantages + + are a slight loss of performance for your users and you won't be able to use + + relative links within HTML resources.

+ +

To use this alternative method: login as Admin, go into the + + "Configure Variables" page and change the setting for "slasharguments". + + You should now be able to access your uploaded files.

+ +

+ + + +

PHP - is it installed and what version + + do I have?

+ +

Make a new file on your web site called info.php, containing the following + + text, and call it from your browser:

+ + + +

<?PHP phpinfo() ?>

+ +

If nothing happens then you don't have PHP installed. See the + + installation docs for some information about where to download it for your computer.

+ +

Why are all my pages blank?

+ +

Check the dirroot variable in config.php. You must use complete, + + absolute pathnames, eg:

+ +

$CFG->dirroot = "d:\inetpub\sites\www.yoursite.com\web\moodle";

+ +

Redhat Linux platform please see: Redhat Linux

+ +

My pages show fatal errors such + + as : call to undefined function: get_string()

+ +

If you see errors like:

+ +

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in c:\program + + files\easyphp\www\moodle\config.php on line 94
+ + Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_string() in c:\program files\easyphp\www\moodle\mod\resource\lib.php + + on line 11

+ +

then it's likely you have left out a semi-colon or ending quote + + from a line in config.php (previous to line 94).

+ +

Another reason could be that you have opened config.php in a + + program like Word to edit it, and saved it as a HTML web page, instead of a + + proper text file.

+ +

Why do I keep getting error messages + + about "headers already sent"?

+ +

If you see errors like this:

+ +

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already + + sent by (output started at /webs/moodle/config.php:87) in /webs/moodle/lib/moodlelib.php + + on line 1322

+ +

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already + + sent by (output started at /webs/moodle/config.php:87) in /webs/moodle/lib/moodlelib.php + + on line 1323

+ +

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already + + sent by (output started at /webs/moodle/config.php:87) in /webs/moodle/login/index.php + + on line 54

+ +

You have blank lines or spaces after the final ?> in your config.php + + file. Sometimes text editors add these - for example Notepad on Windows - so + + you may have to try a different text editor to remove these spaces or blank + + lines completely.

+ +

I keep getting this error: Failed + + opening required '/web/moodle/lib/setup.php'

+ +

In your config.php, the setting that you use for the dirroot + + variable must be the complete path from the root of your server's hard + + drive.

+ +

Sometimes people only use the path from their home directory, + + or relative to the root of the web server directory.

+ +

Any text I add with an apostrophe + + (') or a quote (") causes errors or comes up with a slash added

+ +

Problems caused by apostrophes are caused by incorrect "magic + + quotes" settings. Moodle requires the following settings (which are usually + + the default):

+ +

magic_quotes_gpc = On
+ + magic_quotes_runtime = Off

+ +

See the section on webserver + + configuration in the Installation docs for more details.

+ +

+ + + + + + + +

I keep getting error messages about session_start

+ +

If you see errors like this:

+ +

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_d40f380d37d431fc1516e9a895ad9ce0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php on line 123

+ +

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_d40f380d37d431fc1516e9a895ad9ce0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php on line 123

+ +

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php:1) in G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php on line 123

+ + + +

... these are all related to the fact that PHP is failing to save + + "session" files on your hard disk (in a directory called /tmp). Usually the + + reason is that you don't HAVE a directory called /tmp on your computer. This + + is usually the case with Windows installations.

+ + + +

The solution is to fix the PHP setting for this path to point to a real directory. You can do this in your php.ini file:

+ +

session.save_path = C:\temp

+ +

or otherwise in a .htaccess file in your main moodle directory:

+ +

php_value session.save_path "/home/moodle/sessions"

+ +

+ + + +

When I go to the admin page, I get told to make dirroot blank!

+ +

If you see errors like this in Moodle 1.0.9:

+ + + + + + + + + +

Please fix your settings in config.php: + +

You have:

+ +

$CFG->dirroot = "/home/users/fred/public_html/moodle";

+ +

but it should be:

+ +

$CFG->dirroot = "";

+ + + +

then you have encountered a small bug that occurs on some servers. The problem is with the error-checking mechanism, not with your actual path. To fix it, find this line (line 66) in the file admin/index.php:

+ +

if ($dirroot != $CFG->dirroot) {

+ +

and change it to this:

+ +

if (!empty($dirroot) and $dirroot != $CFG->dirroot) {

+ +

+ + +

I login but don't appear to be. I am logged in and can navigate freely.

+ +

Make sure the URL in your $CFG->wwwroot setting is exactly the + + same as the one you are actually using to access the site.

+ +

When trying to add a resource I receive error messages.

+ +

Assuming you are using Apache, then it's quite likely that your + + setting in config.php for $CFG->wwwroot is different from the actual URL you + + are using to access the site. Also try turning off "secureforms" in the + + admin settings.

+ +

+ + + +

During the initial setting-up process, I never get asked to create an admin account!

+ +

This is a known bug in versions of Moodle up to 1.0.9, now fixed in the main code and version 1.1.

+ +

It doesn't affect all people, it only occurs when the person installing Moodle has a + + cookie in their browser from another program on the same site, called "user", "admin", or "teacher".

+ +

Quick fixes include deleting those cookies from your browser before installing, using a different browser, or editing the file moodle/admin/user.php to insert these lines near the top:

+ +

unset($user);
unset($admin);
unset($teacher);

+ +

After performing any of these fixes it might be a good idea + + to drop all the tables in your database and re-install again from scratch.

+ +

+ + + +

I can't log in - I just stay stuck on the login screen.

+ +

The most common cause for this is that your own computer (not your Moodle server) + + has a firewall that is stripping referrer information from the browser. Here are + + some instructions for fixing Norton firewall products.

+ +

The server admin can also fix this for everyone by editing the Moodle configuration + + page and changing the variable "secureforms" to "No".

+ +

Another possible cause of this problem is that sessions are + + not configured properly on the server. You can test this by calling the script + + http://yourserver/moodle/lib/session-test.php.

+ +

+ + + +

How do I backup my whole Moodle site?

+ +

There are two main things you need to make a copy of: the database and the uploaded files. The Moodle scripts themselves are less important, since you can always download a fresh copy if you have to.

+ +

There are many ways to do such backups. Here is an outline of a little script you can run on Unix to backup the database (it works well to have such a script run daily via a cron task

+ +

cd /my/backup/directory

+ +

mv moodle-database.sql.gz moodle-database-old.sql.gz

+ +

mysqldump -h example.com -u myusername --password=mypassword -C -Q -e -a mydatabasename > moodle-database.sql

+ +

gzip moodle-database.sql

+ +

For the files, you can use rsync regularly to copy only the changed files to another host:

+ +

rsync -auvtz --delete -e ssh mysshusername@example.com:/my/server/directory + + /my/backup/directory/

+ +

+ + +

Why doesn't my Moodle site display the time & date correctly?

+ +

Each language requires a specific language code (called a locale + + code) to allow dates to be displayed correctly. The language packs contain default + + standard codes, but sometimes these don't work on Windows servers.

+ +

You can find the correct locale codes for Windows on these two + + pages: Language + + codes and Country/region + + codes.(eg "esp_esp" for spanish)

+ +

These new locale codes can be entered on the Admin -> Configure + + -> Variables page, where they override the ones in the currently chosen language + + pack.

+ +

Email copies are not being sent + + from my forums

+ +

You must set up cron properly if you want Moodle + + to send out automatic email from forums, journals, assignments etc. This same + + process also performs a number of clean-up tasks such as deleting old unconfirmed + + users, unenrolling old students and so on.

+ +

Basically, you need to set up a process to regularly call the + + script http://yoursite/admin/cron.php. Please see the + + section on cron in the Installation documentation.

+ +

Tip: Try the default setting in Moodle variables page. Leave the smtphost blank. + +This will be acceptable for the majority of users.
