Error creating accounts

Hi,

I recently started my Moodle LMS. I have everything running but the account creation. Every time I try to create an account (user creating their own accounts) i get the following error messages in attachments

Moodle version 3.9. Apache cpanel setup

Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? Sorry I'm not up to speed on all this. Thanking you all in advance


Cheers - Mark

Hi Mark, I suggest it's a little difficult to do much if you're not logged in for starters. What you might be looking for is a way to allow your clientele the opportunity to join your site. You might want to look at this Moodle Doc on Self-Registration by email. That might help. There is also a range of alternatives in the Download PlugIn pages. One of these might help. Cheers.

You might want to switch your dbcollation to utf8mb4_unicode_ci.

When i search the forums, it seems alot have had problems with utf8mb4_bin.

You can read some explanations and guides how to update it, in this thread: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=383652

Brilliant! I will give that a go as I wasn’t sure if I could switch the Unicode as when I set the self registration up it only gave me the option of UTF8 with no other sub option

Does your 'Main administrator' account have an email address? You can see the main administrator at Site administration -> Users -> Permissions -> Site administrators.

And also double check your SMTP settings at Site administration -> Server -> Email -> Outgoing mail configuration, and add a no-reply address.
