kind regard.
You'll never find it... there's no such file.
mdl_config is the name of one of the tables in the database.
Perhaps take a step back and tell us what has gone wrong and what you are trying to do?
thanks a lot and god bless for your prompt reply.......
am trying to install "moodel/stable29" in a sub-domain on my server, but i keep getting this error.
when i clicked on the link in the error message it redirected me to a moodle debugging screen that said i need to edit the " mdl_config"
please find attached picture of the error message.
thanks so much
Hmmm.... tell us how you installed Moodle? What instructions did you follow?
Has the installation gone wrong and you've tried to restart it?
To add what Howard asked ...
First line in screen shot is a clue ... "you have an error in SQL syntax ... check the manual ... that ... MariaDB."
So now we know you are using MariaDB.
Your server platform is? PHP version is? MariaDB version is?
Are you installing a moodle inside another moodle code directory? (uhhhh, that's not good)
You might be attempting to install an older version of Moodle on a server
that has higher versions of PHP/MariaDB and thus moodle code is too old.
For a 2.9.x minimum PHP is 5.4.4 and MariaDB is 5.5.31 but that version
of Moodle may not run on PHP 7.0 or 7.1 and MariaDB 10.x.x. (probably won't).
