If you upgraded the Databse from 2.6, copy the salt from the 2.6 config file to the 2.7 config file. If you changed the admin password in the new Database, revert to the one from the old Database. It should work as is. hth

You can also try the Dataform module. While it doesn't yet support the Moodle rubrics (prepared but not completed yet), it allows you to create a rubric as part of the submission form. That is, you can add grading and feedback fields, organize them in the entry template as desired with descriptions and styles (via a WYSIWYG editor), and then set the activity grading calculation you wish to apply.

The presentation at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=276190#p1187089 illustrates how grading is done (it would be similar for group and individual submissions).

The thread at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=276623 offers further clarifications how to construct the calculated grade in the activity.

EDIT: Unfortunately some of these features are available from 2.7 onward, so may not applicable in your current Moodle.

I encountered a similar issue a few years ago and it appeared that emails were being denied because there was no valid email address for the support contact (site admin -> server -> support email). hth

In the tempalte, enclose the field pattern with a div element with css class, something like:

<div class="myDate">[[Date] ]</div>

Then the javascript can look for all the these elements by the css selector, get their innerHTML, parse the date string and replace it with a reformatted one.

The Date field of the Database uses the format '%d %B %Y' which is defined in the lang string strftimedate. You can change this lang string to something like '%d/%m/%Y'. Of course this will affect every other component that displays dates formatted with this lang string, but there are only a few (I found 9 all over Moodle) so it should be fairly safe.
