Hi all
I thought I had successfully installed Moodle. If it makes a difference, it is installed in a subdomain. I did have a timeout error when the plugin update was happening, but there were no other errors.
Now, there is only text and links, instead of any graphics. I have included a picture of the issue. I am using nginx and MariaDB using EasyEngine. I have several working Wordpress installs running alongside it.
Any thoughts on where I have gone wrong?
Moodle Themes are responsive ... ie, your server sees a tablet/mobile phone, it will adjust the default theme and render it as best it can according to the ID/info shared by the requesting browser/device.
You don't show the bottom of the screen from your device ... but is there a link to "view in ...' something like that?
So am curious, what device/tablet are you using ... doesn't look Android to me ... nor iOS. Don't have one of everything (like most folks) to have had experience and thus be able to recognize some screen shots so just tell us.
If you were expecting to see the nice theme you may have installed and viewed during installation using a desktop browser ... firefox, chrome, etc. ... don't think it wise to expect that.
Also see a .local which means it must be behind a firewall and on a private network. Red Flag is you plan to use the Moodle to serve outside that private network. Best to get/setup Moodle with a fully qualified domain name for the server (true Internet Domain ... not Windows/Apple default 'domains' like .local.). It will save you time and a major adjustment later.
Ok ... your turn! ;)

So the screenshot there just happened to be from a phone. I have attached a picture of the site in Chrome on PC. I am using a .local right now as a test site, before I install it alongside the real domain. I tried installing it from scratch again, but with the same result.
Thoughts?
Interesting .... but so is 'EasyEngine' ... https://easyengine.io/faq/ and the combo used ... nginx + MariaDB.
Not saying anything wrong with that only most users here on these forums probably haven't used that combo. MariaDB just a drop in replacement for MySQL so don't think there would be much diff in what one could find for tweaking DB for Moodle (and tweaking is usually needed).
The closest docs on Moodle are at:
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Install_Moodle_On_Ubuntu_with_Nginx/PHP-fpm
me thinks.
And on that page it mentions 'SlashArguments' - which translated into Apache-ese is AcceptPathInfo.
Here's a page that might help:
Check error logs of server ... nginx error logs, php error logs in particular.
'Several WordPresses along side it' I assume to mean in either virtual host config's (what you are calling subdomains?) or as subdirs.
WP's usually have re-write rules ... would any of those affect the location of the Moodle install ... ie, in a subdomain of a WordPress above it?

Hi Ken
Thanks so much that link with the docs for nginx were the key "disable slashes" was the trick now I just have to learn how to use Moodle
Cheers
Good! Glad to hear it. Remember that it's best to post information about the system (Linux/Distro) along with Web server (Aapche/nginx), Moodle version, PHP version, DB version when reporting a problem. You help folks help you! ;)
Please feel free to rate the posting that helped as 'useful'.
