Dear All,
Thank you all for your help - I finally managed to make the migration from a Windows server to an Ubuntu one. Everything is running fine and the SQL database is good.
The only problem I am left with is no emails are going out. This is especially problematic for self-registration. The smtp settings are exactly the same as the Windows server, but nothing is going.
Are there some permissions that I have to change on the Ubuntu server?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

If it's says that is already installed then do:
Also check that you have cron configured, you should have a line in the cron like this (note: configure cron as root):
There's some documentation in moodle about cron, you should read it.
I hope this helps.
