I've developed my Moodle site using version 2.3.3. I've just attempted my first migration by importing the moodledata folder to the new location and have restored the database with the backup I created.
When I access the new Moodle site, the appearance matches the original so it appears the migration was successful. However, I cannot login with any of the old usernames/passwords.
Does anyone have any suggestions upon what I've missed here? Thank you.
Check the user table in your Moodle database (SELECT * FROM mdl_user;). Does it contain all the users?
Did you migrate to a new domain?
Thanks, Luis. Yes, the user table does contain all the users.
I migrated to a new hard drive (different computer). I'm running with a BitNami stack at the moment.
Hi,
Do you kept the config.php that you were using in the old version?
You must to take attend with Password Salting[1].
No, the config.php on the newly migrated-to machine is fresh from a new install. I tried copying across the old config file and received the error:
"Error: Database connection failed."
I'm not sure what you mean by "You must to take attend with Password Salting".
Indeed, the problem was with password salting. I had to copy the password salt from the old setup over to the new one. Thank you.
