Putting Moodle 2.9.2 into Maintenance Mode conflicts with Joomla?

Hi all,


I am new to Moodle and even newer to Joomla. We have two education sites; one running in Moodle and the other in Joomla. Both hosted on GoDaddy. I am in the midst of preparing to upgrade Moodle from 2.9.2 to 3.1. Moodle upgrade documentation I read stated I should put Moodle into Maintenance Mode. This put my Moodle site into a status where it would be unavailable for all users unless they are admins. While in Maintenance Mode, I had admin access to the Moodle site. Within a few minutes, reports trickled in for our other site running in Joomla where users got a 404 error going to that site. The Joomla administrator can login fine. Immediately, I noticed the coincidence of putting Moodle into Maintenance Mode and the Joomla based site going 404. I put Moodle back into normal mode but the Joomla site remained 404.

Are there shared resources between Moodle and Joomla where putting Moodle into Maintenance Mode would affect Joomla?


Many thanks,

Fred
