version of Moodle (e.g. 2.8.3)
1.What is the biggest size of file i can upload in this version?
2.I download the install pack of 2.8.3+ and press "start moodle"bottom,but after setting the password of data base,i click "next",then nothing happen.page turn in to blank p.s 2.0 is fine.i wonder what has happened and how to fix it?
Thank you all
1. 512MB is the default in Moodle. Site Administration > Courses > Course Defaults, and of course, the settings for your courses. Your PHP settings must also allow that much data to be uploaded, in php.ini post_max_size and upload_max_filesize.
2. In what OS environment? If you're talking Windows, you may simply need to delete the contents of the cache directory in moodledata.
Thank you very much,i'll try that and report the result
I am using win7 and i have deleted the contents of the cache but the problem was not solved,i posted some pictures about this ,hope you can help me,thank you again.
I suppose I should install this package at some point so I can be more helpful. Here's the thing: while I'm a "Windows guy", my Moodle runs on Ubuntu.... so here's what the Installation FAQ says might be the problem (https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Installation_FAQ):
Check the dirroot variable in config.php. You must use complete, absolute pathnames (e.g.)
$CFG->dirroot = "/var/www/moodle";
Another reason might be that PHP has not been configured to support MySQL (or whatever other database you are using). This is common on RedHat and OpenBSD installations. In this case, an error is generated, but since error displays are often disabled by default, all that is seen on the browser is a blank screen. To enable PHP error displays see How to enable and check PHP error logs.
To determine if database support is your problem, insert this as the second line in your config.php file
phpinfo();
then reload the web page. Examine the output closely to see if you chosen database is supported. If not, look for a package you are missing.

Thank you so much for all you have done,i tried 127.0.01，but still the same，i will try other way you told me to solve this problem.
thank you again
Switch on Debugging !!
OK,Sorry,i'll look it up.but if i cannot get the answer,where i can post my quetion?
Then there's this discussion: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=73852
I'm not sure whether it still applies to Windows 7, but you might try setting the permissions on moodledata and/or using http://127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
I found php_error_log,it keeps saying the following things:
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(D:\Program Files\Moodle\server\moodle/theme/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Program Files\Moodle\server\moodle\install\css.php on line 41
Is something wrong with my php setting?
Hmmmm. Looking at css.php, it's trying to get the contents of a file, but passes only a directory to the function. I think it will always get that warning, and it probably doesn't affect the install process.
I second Howard's suggestion of turning on debugging. Click on "debugging" in his message to get the documentation for it.
