Emma
Having the same inssue on Digital Ocean.
Tryed some alternatives, but with no success.
Going to test Moodle 2.9
3.4.1+ (Build: 20180223)
In Site Admin Appearance Ajax and Javascript:
Use online YUI libraries ... default is no- NOT checked
YUI combo loading ... is checked default is yes.

Activity chooser default: is checked - default is yet.

Appear to be from YUI library. The fist line in each section is the cache file name.
(probably not the same on your server).

On your system, what are ownerships/permissions on moodledata/localcache/js?
drwxrwsrwx. 2 apache apache 4096 Feb 27 12:46 js
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 apache apache on fils in the cache.
I don't know of any method to force reloading of the YUI cached js files. Maybe a true programmer could tell all!

Hello Ken!
Thank you about your time!
In Site Admin Appearance Ajax and Javascript:
Use online YUI libraries ... default is no- NOT checked
YUI combo loading ... is checked default is yes.
Cache Javascript: checked Default is yes
Activity chooser default: is checked - default is yet.
I tested changing these parameters, without success.
On the folder js, it did not exist. Maybe it's the problem. But strange, because the permission has always been with apache as owner and works perfectly on other servers.

But it did not solve the problem yet....We are on the correct way to solve!
Thank you again!
Thinking out loud ... without access .... sooooooo
See:
ls -lha /var/www/moodle/moodledata/localcache/js/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 294 Mar 4 21:58 .
The .dot has always meant 'pwd' ... I think .. like issuing a command from the present working directory not in paths ... php ./somephpscript.php
You had to manually create js directory, so that means purge cache scripts which might delete directories and then attempt to re-create them couldn't?!!!
so what are ownerships/permissions on localcache dir and on the js directory?
cd /path/to/moodledata/
chown apache:apache localcache -R
I also see (in your case) that moodledata is inside moodle code?
Is there an .htaccess file in moodledata?
Could you access moodledata with browser? http://site/moodle/moodledata/

Hello Ken!
I created the JS folder and the files appeared there, but still it still does not work.
I installed another moodle, I gave permission 777 in the moodledata directory and it also has the same problem, but this one created the js folder and the files, but the infinite wheel problem still continues.
As exposed, the files were created after creating the folder, with apache: apache.
I tried to clear the caches, the files disappeared and when trying again, some appeared, but it did not solve the problem.
The moodledata folder is behind public_html and not accessible via HTTP (s).
I will reinstall the VPS and test again, unfortunately.
Thank you!
What OS is this? CentOS or Ubuntu? or ?
If either of those, and a true VPS (you are the only customer on the server), there is no reason to put moodledata in a 'public_html' directory. public_html typically a 'user' space which is restricted (check your main config file for apache) ... that's the only reason one would put moodledata at that location ... right along side the code directory ... moodle.
In both of the OS's above (Centos 7 and Ubuntu 16.04) apache has /var/www/ as it's 'home' directory and 'document' root is /var/www/html/. Since apache user/group already knows about /var/www/ moodledata should be located there - unless you have a large partition ... like /data/. Moodle code goes in /var/www/html/ or in a directory of /var/www/html/.
Also ... if CentOS, is seLinux running? How about any other additional protections for PHP ... like suPHP.

Hi Rodrigo,
please open the Development Tools of your browser and look at the body of the response of the request named draftfiles_ajax.php?action=list: the text in that body will be the reason for your spinning wheel (an error or an HTML page explaining the error).

Hello people
Thank you very much for your willingness to help!
Since I was short on time, I could not debug to resolve. I refitted the server and the test was working normally.
Centos7 + Apache + MariaDB + Php7 (not fpm).
About moodledata, it is not accessible. Only public_html is accessible via the internet.
I have several moodles and I have never seen this kind of problem. I hope it does not happen to anyone else.
Thank you!
