Hi Japun,

I am on Windows 8 with a local installation of Moodle 2.6 and 2.7. I can run Elegance only with theme designer mode on. In a different forum I read the advice to manually trigger cron (Site administration -> Notifications and click on cron.php maintenance script). 

My local installation is on Bitnami. In case you need to try it out, you can download the installation file HERE.

Regarding your server problem, I recommend the following steps:

- reboot your computer

- open File Explorer and go to xampp\ (you should see something that is similar to the screenshot below)

How to restart Apache Server

- double click on manager-windows or a similar file where you read "application" in the type column

- click on Manage Servers (2. tab)

- at the bottom of the new window, click on "restart all" and leave this window open

- open your Internet browser and start your Moodle installation

- if you see the error message again, you need to go back to the previous application (Apache Server) and click on restart again

Hope this works. If it doesn't I recommend installing the Bitnami-Moodle installation. 

With kind regards,

Hartmut

Hello Hartmut,

Thanks for your help, but I really can't find that manager-windows "thing".

Can you please check this screen shot? smile

Hi Japun, 

xampp_stop.exe will stop the server and sampp_start. exe will start the server. After you clicked xampp_start.exe, just minimize the window but leave it open. Now you should be able to use your local Moodle installation with the theme Elegance. As soon as you have access to your site, go to Notifications under Site administration and manually trigger the cron.php (click on the link, if it is still clickable). 

A few years ago I used xampp. As I had some difficulties with the installation on my PC, I was very glad when I found Bitnami. So in case restarting xampp doesn't help you, I highly recommend to uninstall xampp completely and install Moodle-Bitnami (see link in my previous post). The installation will be done in less than 30 minutes and is hassle-free. 

With kind regards,

Hartmut

Thanks Hartmut, but maybe, I can't use Bitnami because I've already stated xampp in my thesis (technologies applied part) and I already passed it to my teacher.

But thank you very much, I'll try it out for testing. ^_^
