Does anyone know how to reset admin password under Windows (running the xampp lite that came with the "Moodle for Windows" package)? I know that I can do command line under Linux to use reset_password.php, like described in this page: http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Administration_via_command_line#Reset_user_password

but I'm not sure how to do that under Windows. Thanks for your help!

My local "Windows moodle package" (downloaded from download.moodle.org, which came with xampplite) was working perfectly for a year now and suddenly I'm getting the same error message now. I suspect that it has something to do with the new Microsoft Security Monitor which might have disabled the port 80 or something. Did anyone run into similar situation and do you have any solutions (other than reinstalling the xampp). thanks!

Hi Joseph,

We have a production site that has 1.9.9 running the old Questionnaire plugin. If we want to keep all the existing Questionnaire user data, is there a recommended upgrade path and tips for us to safely upgrade from 1.9.9 to 2.4.4 without totally removing the old questionnaire plugin in 1.9.9 first? Are the new Questionnaire codes for 2.2. and 2.4 the same? Thanks!

Hi all, just wondering whether someone has done this before. I understand that the certificate codes for 1.9.x and 2.4.x are probably very different so I am planning to remove the mod/certificate folder in 1.9 first then reinstall the 2.x Certificate module in 2.4.x. However I do want to keep track of all the issed certificates (and its numbers, etc.) in the upgraded Moodle 2.4.4. Is this possible? Could I just do a mysql dump and restore the tables from 1.9.x to 2.4.4? Would that work? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ken I think your info helps too. Thanks. Just wondering for Git beginners like me which one should I start reading, the 'Official' git tutorial, or the one on Moodle Docs...

Anyway, with SVN on Windows, you do a "svn update" in the command line in the folder to update your local copy to track with the MOODLE_xx_STABLE, I guess for Git you will have to do a pull... so do you just do "git pull" or something? What's the differences between "git pull", "git pull #" and "git fetch"? Thanks!
