Moodle in English: Moodle 2.2 - Corrupted Legacy Course Files

Moodle 2.2 - Corrupted Legacy Course Files

by Fred Weiss - Tuesday, December 20, 2011, 5:55 AM

I upgraded my server to Moodle 2.2 but found the legacy course file area accessed via the file picker started pointing to System\Front page. (see image) So as a teacher I see no files.

If I click on System I can then see categories and work my way to my course.

The legacy course file are from the LH menu remained correct in all courses.

No errors were reported during the upgrade I tried accessing from different browsers. I also tried the upgrade on two different servers.

I have restored the server back to 2.1.2 and all is working properly again i.e I can see the course files area from the file picker.

Any help appreciated.

I have had the same thing occure in a 1.9.14 to 2.2 upgrade on a linux platform. I also do not have any import screen available with tabs or radio buttons to import by. All I get is a white screen with the first click on the import link. Sounds like backing up to 2.1 is the best thing to do here.

Thanks Fred,

I have voted for the tracker issue. As admin I see the Legacy site files in the Legacy course files repository, while as a teacher I see nothing in the Legacy course files repository.

Rgrds,
Paul

I will also vote within the tracker. Though, I was logged in as admin and could not view the LCF's when trying to add a file etc. Works just now with applying the patches found within the tracker.
