I had a problem with my moodle site on which i used fantastico to install moodle script. I had a problem with my Gujarati language pack, My site and cources showed only ???? instead of characters.
I spent 2 to 3 days to find its solutions on net but none of the solution (specially run a script )worked as I have no knowledge of PHP or SQL .
then ,
I remove the moodle installed by fantastico and upload the moodle to my site and then just run the install.php, follow the instructions from installing moodle (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle) [ frankly speaking, I did not understand any script but just read the Creating the data directory and Run the installer script to create config.php and run the page on my server ] and BINGO
It was done perfectly. Now both moodle interface and my cource content is visible perfectly in Gujarati.Cheers
