I was wondering our moodle site has been down for a few weeks and it is up again, but all the material is gone. does that mean we have to start over again from scratch? I was just wondering because all of the courses are gone and it will not recognize any logins.  The site is this link below.

VERY strange behavior, to be sure.

So did someone work on the problem a few weeks ago or did you just leave it alone at the time?

It looks like a fresh database installation. Looking around, I see you've kept your earlier versions of Moodle in your public_html folder, too. = http://pagancollege.com/moodle1.2/

My guess is that when you installed the 1.3 software, rather than point it at your previous database fields, additional, new empty fields were added to your existing database.

If you cross your fingers, I would imagine that your old data is sitting quietly in your database, but the new installation is not interacting with it. (Maybe because of a prefix on the database fields?)

Maybe you could explain more about what you've seen and done over the past couple of weeks. This could be easy to fix. Or not. mixed

if you run

you get an interesting message. My guess is that your config.php file is messed up and is pointing to the wrong database. Or possibly the web server configuration is pointing to the wrong version of Moodle.

Somebody changed something, and somebody knows what happened smile
