Hi
I am trying to upgrade from 2.8.3 to 2.9.1
I was having some issues so i
1 - Setup new fresh installation of 2.9.1
2 - Exported entire data of 2.8.3
3 - Imported Data Only via Workbench to 2.9.1
Now i can see the courses and everything is imported successfully to 2.91
but i as admin or users cannot login to the system ?
How can i fix this issue
thanks
Did you start with a new config.php file? If so, did the old one have a password salt set?
Jeff
i used the config file of my own which was used on 2.8.3
old one had a passwordsaltmain set and i used it as it is
but no users including admin can login
i tried to reset password of admin via phpmyadmin md5 still admin cannot login
What did you do with the moodledata folder?
moodle data folder has been shifted to new server exactly as it was in 2.8.3 server
but something happens in the last few minutes of data transfer where it restrict access to all users
i am using Windows Server 2012
and the moodle data is on D Drive where as the Database is in C drive which is the operating system drive
I just noticed another thing
OS Windows Server 2012 both new and old
I migrated moodle files of 2.8.3 to new machine
Then using Workbench Wizard migrated 2.8.3 Database to new server
Copied moodle Data folder to now machine with same permissions
and same problem
i cannot login
even users cannot login
really strange?
any clue?
SOLVED
TIPS
Never trust on Data Migration Wizard of MySql Workbench
Never try to manually transfer moodle database by copying files from data folder of mysql
Drop preexisting scheme of moodle if appearing
Don’t create a scheme and then import
Select .sql data file and import without creating a scheme, let it create it itself and then dump data in it
