Hello,

I have just installed Moodle 3.3.1.

On the page http://www.reiki.group/admin/settings.php?section=manageauths, when I click on "settings" (anyone shown for example "manual accounts"), I got the error message:

Section error!

error/admin/sectionerror

https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/error/admin/sectionerror

Is this a bug ?

That link is for the 'manage authentication' page. There are lots of settings links. I take it they all do it. 

I couldn't reproduce this. However, you should switch on Debugging (all the way to Developer and tick the 'display errors' box underneath). Reproduce the problem. Do you see additional messages?

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, here are the additional messages:

All standard types including "auth" should have plugininfo class!

  • line 466 of /lib/classes/plugin_manager.php: call to debugging()
  • line 394 of /lib/classes/plugin_manager.php: call to core_plugin_manager::resolve_plugininfo_class()
  • line 129 of /admin/settings/plugins.php: call to core_plugin_manager->get_plugins_of_type()
  • line 8004 of /lib/adminlib.php: call to require()
  • line 19 of /admin/settings.php: call to admin_get_root()

Debug info:
Error code: sectionerror
Stack trace:
  • line 503 of /lib/setuplib.php: moodle_exception thrown
  • line 26 of /admin/settings.php: call to print_error()


Note that I have in my conf.php:

'dbcollation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci' (I am using Antelope file format).

I hope this will help. Is this problem related to my own installation ?

Where did you get the 3.3.1 code from? I can only think this sounds like corrupted code in some way?

Is there any chance that you copied the code "over the top" of an older version? Also, have you installed (or tried to install) any optional plugins?

I confirm that my Moodle installation was full of corrupted files... sad

So this was not a bug.
