Has anyone had any luck with installing Moodle 3.7.1 on GoDaddy. I'm running a Windows instance in GoDaddy.
When I tried I had an error:
"PHP Extension - The 'intl' extension was not found."
I contacted GoDaddy support and they were no help at all.
I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Cheers.
I have owned and used a GoDaddy VPS for a number of years, with great success. I am not sure which product you purchased from GoDaddy. On my VPS, I have cPanel, which allows me to easily turn on php extensions, including intl.
If one purchases a VPS from GoDaddy, without support, they expect you to know what you are doing. If you are a novice with a VPS, you will have some learning to do. If you have purchased a Hosted server, you might run into difficulties with some hosted servers not meeting Moodle's minimum requirements. I have not tried and newer hosted servers, so I really can't comment. If you are installing from a one-click installation program, don't.
On a very positive side, my VPS has never been "down." (Probably I am just lucky.) There are some folks who hang out on Moodle.org who do not care for GoDaddy, so you will probably see some negative comments along the way.
I am not connected with GoDaddy in any way, I am just speaking from my own experience. I have been used GoDaddy for about a dozen years, and find their servers to be solid. GoDaddy is a server company, not a Moodle provider, so don't expect GoDaddy to help with any Moodle questions. But they do help with server questions. I don't know what you had really asked them and how they really replied, but the communication of needs and understanding responses sometimes can be challenging.
