automatically upgrade your server to this version: 2.4.1

Once I log into Moodle (first time for me), the message in the wondow says:

Your Moodle files have been changed, and you are about to automatically upgrade your server to this version:
2.4.1 (Build: 20130114) (2012120301)
Once you do this you can not go back again.
Please note that this process can take a long time.
Are you sure you want to upgrade this server to this version?

 

If I click CANCEL, nothing happens; if I click CONTINUE, a Current Release Information widow opens with a checklist. All statuses are OK except for the first three which say CHECK.

These are as follows:

php_extension

zip

must be installed and enabled

The Zip PHP extension is now required by Moodle, info-ZIP binaries or PclZip library are not used anymore.

Check

php_extension

xmlrpc

should be installed and enabled for best results

The xmlrpc extension is needed for hub communication, and useful for web services and Moodle networking

Check

php_extension

intl

should be installed and enabled for best results

Intl extension is used to improve internationalization support, such as locale aware sorting.

 Check

When I click the links, confusion reigns supreme. What do I do???

Picture of Particularly helpful Moodlers

So it appears that somone installed the 2.4.1 version of Moodle on top of your Moodle install without checking that the server meets the requirements.

Your choices are:

  1. Get the php-zip extension installed, whether you do that or you contact your web hosting company to get it done, or...
  2. Restore the previous version's file and continue using that.
