Hello,

I am a newbie. We are planning to upgrade our moodle from 2.9+ to 3.2.

So I am trying to prepare a test environment for our moodle. I have copied moodledata,/var/www folder and moodle database to my new machine successfully. However, when I am trying to access that page using ipaddress/moodle. I am getting a message that unable to connect.

Would you please help me out to solve this issue.

$CFG->wwwroot='http://xxx.xx.x.x/moodle';

$CFG->dirroot='/var/www';

$CFG->dataroot='/var/moodledata';

$CFG->admin='admin';

Do you have your webserver running on the new server?  What do you get if you just go to the ip?

Move your moodle folder inside your html folder.  Make sure ownership and permissions are correct.

Ok, so now you are getting to moodle so that part is correct.  Now you need to make sure that the database is up and running and accessible with the same credentials as are listed in the config file.

Unless I missed something, the OP is not running Xampp. They are running on Ubuntu. 

This won't help them unfortunately.

Op is running Ubuntu 16.04 which is Linux Standards Base (LSB) - there are changes to the way Ubuntu sets up apache.  If Op; had experience with Ubuntu earlier versions, things have changed.

Please see:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-16-04

The section on Server Configuration and especially read about 'sites-available' and 'sites-enabled' in that section.

One shouldn't see a 'html' directory listing unless Op has changed default config.   That directory should be 'document root'.   IF anything, Op should have seen a 'moodle' directory.

Suggest, if Op has made any changes to conf files for apache, revert them back and read about sites-available/sites-enabled.
