Installing Moodle 3.4.2+ (Build: 20180502)

I am trying to install Moodle 3.4.2+ (Build: 20180502) on to my laptop and keep getting the following error (I have attached screen shot also):

php_extensionintl

Intl extension is required to improve internationalization support, such as locale aware sorting and international domain names.

I have completed the instructions, yet it still shows the error. (I have attached a copy of the PHP.ini file)

To enable this extension add the following line to your php.ini file usually found in /php:

extension=php_intl.dll

And then set the intl.default_locale and intl.error_level directives in your php.ini file.

[intl]

intl.default_locale = en_utf8

intl.error_level = E_WARNING

Are you using the Moodle Complete Install Package for Windows? If so, have you downloaded and installed vc_redist.x86.exe (Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015)? And not vc_redist.x64.exe?

Run PHPInfo(). Does it show the INTL section? If not then your PHP isn't configured correctly - it's not loading the INTL extension.

I have saved the file <?php phpinfo(); ?> as info.php in notepad. Unfortunately I am not familiar with this area and cannot the next two points:

  • Upload this file into the root web accessible folder on your server.
  • Now open this file in your browser. For example http://<server-name>/info.php.

I am using a standalone laptop and trying to run moodle on localhost?

extension=php_intl.dll is in PHP file

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Since you're running Moodle on your laptop it's referred to as a local instance...

Copy the info.php file to your Moodle folder in your local instance.

Then open http://localhost/info.php in your web browser (assuming you installed Moodle in the root of your local web server). You should see the output of the PHPInfo command.

I have run http://localhost/info.php  and got the information in the attached file. Unfortunately, it still did not work. Can you identify the error in the attached file?

Can you try opening a Command Prompt window and running the following commands:

cd \Moodle\server\php
php -r "echo extension_loaded('intl');"

This should just show the number 1 but you may get an error. Could you let us know what you see?

Also could you go into Control Panel into the Uninstall a program list and post a screenshot showing the Visual C++ redistributable run-time entry in the list. It should look like this:

Control Panel, Uninstall or change a program


It's that second entry that we need to confirm.

Leon,

Thanks, I found out what I did wrong, I installed the wrong version of MS Visual. I installed x64. I misread an earlier post.

Thanks all for your help, it was very much appreciated.

Did you use an installer package to install Moodle,or did you do a manual installation? (i.e. Did you setup the web server, database and Moodle code manually?)

I installed it using the installer package. (I would not know how to do it manually)

I extracted the files and saved them to C:\Moodle 

I copied the info.php file to C:\Moodle\server (did not work) so I tried C:\Moodle\server\php and that did not work. I got the following error both times:

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
