Moodle 1.4 Beta is ready and I've branched MOODLE_14_STABLE in CVS.
Please bang on it while I'm sleeping and I'll make a wider announcement tomorrow.
No Exercise module in this release.
No, It's already some releases ago.
Personaly I love the excercise module more than some other modules: I think it has great educational values.

I am still hoping that we can convert Exercise into a sub-module of the cool new Assignment module (not finished yet but being worked on).
Note that Exercise is still available in the CVS version and on the modules download page.

This time in the development cycle is always "way" exciting.
I mumble to myself, rubbing my hands together.
I have to get outside more.

Don't trouble yourself Tom, I've been outside and its not that exciting

Great!
Congrats on 1.4 Beta ! I upgraded to it so I could bang on it a bit and I broke my Moodle, http://eyrespace.com/weather/. I seem to have a problem with upgrades likely due to all the weird customizing that I do. I fail to move all the necessary oddball bits over to the new site.
ODDBALL BITS:
1. Language file is old custom version
2. Have a large directory existing within my Moodle that still works fine of course
3. Custom theme
At this point I'd be happy if I could simply get my old site working properly as I've messed it up and can no longer access it. I've messed up the mysql database probably as the old Moodle is referencing the new Moodle address. I've since deleted the new Moodle and need to repair or revert to the old database state. Can anybody advise? I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
John
PS Hope I'm not out of line using this forum, http://moodle.org/bugs/ is for bugs. This isn't a bug, this is a problem caused by operator error.

So I've deleted the new version and receive the following message when I try to access my old site:
Could not find this file: /home/eyrespac/public_html/weather1/lib/setup.php
Are you sure all your files have been uploaded?
The site weather1 no longer exists so does this mean database corruption? I've tried repairing but no luck.
I can't go to :http://eyrespace.com/weather/admin/ as the previous message occurs there.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Progress Report:
Went back to my config.php file and discovered that I'd left my
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://eyrespace.com/weather';
at the previous changed setting of
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://eyrespace.com/weather1';
which explained my previous post.
Now: when I click on a resource like this link I receive the following error message:
Error: unknown type of resource
I assume this is because the database has changed to reflect the new 1.4 Beta version.
I'm assuming the way to fix this is to re-install the 1.4 Beta and this will allow for the new resource type mentioned in the error message?

Uploaded 1.4 Beta again and this time no problems. I think this may have to do with a bad upload with too many interruptions. I'm guessing that frequent dis-connections caused some files to not get uploaded.
1.4 Beta looks good and now I can get on with testing.

Glad you made it John! I followed your problem but couldn't offer you any help

Badly uploaded files, yes, possible of course.
Hi:
I've installed this version for my course here in a management school. I have a problem which I appreciate any pointers about: this is what I get when I access moodle:
Fatal error: Class adorecordset: Cannot inherit from undefined class adodb_base_rs in /srv/www/htdocs/moodle/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php on line 2263
Any help? Please mail me at shankar@iimb.ernet.in. It's rather urgent. I also apologise if this is not the forum to post my problem.
Thanks in advance -
Shankar

Shankar, I'm quite sure this isn't Moodle. I've seen stuff like that happen sometimes when using a PHP accelerator. The fix for me was to halt Apache, clear the PHP cache, the restart Apache.
Hi Martin:
I did some more investigation on this.
I suspect this has to do with the fact that I am running PHP 4.3.3 on SuSE Linux 9.0. Now SuSE may not have released a binary for this PHP 5 - this is a problem. Can an alternate mechanism be enabled until there is a release? Meanwhile I shall revert to the Moodle 9th July release - from the release notes, the compatibility with PHP5 came later on.

Shouldn't matter ... any version of Moodle should run fine on PHP 4.
Accelerators are add-on software that make PHP run faster ... are you using an accelerator? If you go to the Moodle admin page and click 'PHP info' then you'll get a lot of information ... near the bottom of the top block you will see stuff about an accelerator if you have one.

Martin-I've seen you mention that 1.4 stable will be released Tuesday in one place and Monday in another. Which is it?
Monday, if all goes well but I'll announce it widely on Tuesday.
It's a Catch 22: I cannot load _any_ pages of my Moodle site. Also, can anybody help me with clearing PHP cache? I'm a lame software engineer who goes by clearly written instructions, but this time around, a web search on "clearing PHP cache" has left me completely clueless. Should I be disabling it altogether, and if so, is there an easy way?
Thanks in advance -

Make a file on your server called phpinfo.php containing this:
<?php phpinfo() ?>
then look at it with a web browser.
<?php phpinfo() ?>
then look at it with a web browser.
Thanks for the tip, Martin. I did run the script to get an exhaustive listing of PHP details. It says something about Zend 1.3 (the page was prepared with it), and I'm running PHP version 4.3.3. Any idea what I do next? Honestly, I want to do away with this Zend thing and see if things work.
Thanks -

I think the problem in my case was with the Adodb library. I copied an older version of the library into this (back from May 2004) and the site is back up! Now I know this is a hasty fix, but the error message (inheritance from ADODB_BASE_RS) seems to be correct.

I think I might have this problem too. I am using the ion cube php accelerator and I got the error above at first, and now I am getting the following on the themes page (on 1.4beta):
<>Warning>: main(moodle/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/myclass/theme/index.php on line 75I know how to restart apache but not how to "clear the php cache". I'm sure it is simple, but I am just a beginner, having just set up my own LAMP server for the first time.
So, can someone please explain to me how to clear the php cache?
Thanks a lot in advance, 
Tim.
If you have ioncube accelerator then this should do it:
- apachectl stop
- rm /tmp/phpa*
- apachectl start
Thanks a lot Martin - but that didn't fix the problem. 
Can anyone understand why it is saying "moodle/config.php" in the error message (see the screenshot below) when my directory is "myclass"? I have checked and rechecked config.php and I'm sure it is correct.
Any advice would really be appreciated. 
PS This error seems to only appear on the theme configuration page.
Tim.
You have accidentally added a folder called "moodle" into your theme folder. Delete it. 
Of course, I should have seen it myself 
Thanks a lot once again Martin
