Dom shared creds and I have been into server to look around/discover ...
With neither unoconv nor Google enabled, no wonder no pdf generated!
To setup unoconv ... no install interface in Moodle Admin UX. Requires python (which server has) and the unoconv python script be installed in a bin directory that the user underwhich web service runs - in this case Dom's account login name.
Might be able to install unoconv via git cause system has git, but ... and this is the biggy ... how does one install LibreOffice?
Customer has No yum access ... no repo access. No compilers ... raw binaries and libraries manually placed and configured? That's no fun!
Would helpdesk of hoster do that if on a VPS - unmanaged? ... and for no fee?
Plus a relatively 'minor'? issue of space taken up by LibreOffice. - around 500Megs for minimal.
So me thinks only option is Google.
SuperUser of DB local host server and password, of course?
DB has character set and collations in all tables that need be changed ... config.php line added to reflect and match.
config.php had mariaDB and DB server is mysql.
So TinyMCE does have a plugin ... Dom added?
But from what he's said ... it also lacks 'quality' if I read that right.
Also Dom's comment on anticipated/desired number of users ... wonder if server could handle? Can't be in the race at LeMons with supp'd up Volks!
Anyhoo ...
