That surprises me. A cache should be able to rebuild itself. The documentation, Caching nor MUC_FAQ, tells anything about adverse effects of losing MOODLEDATA/muc/config.php. In the contrary, it was the solution to many unexplained effects after upgrades, URL changes, etc.

I moved the muc/config.php of a running site. It got rebuild instantly, with the identical 'siteidentifier' => 'HASH'.

In case, the web server does not make a difference between the Moodle 'admin' user and any user (logged in) or a visitor (not logged in). I mean file permissions.

You could hopefully get more informative error log by setting Debugging to its maximum.

The next step is Developer_tools#Purge_all_caches. Since you don't get the Moodle GUI, you have to delete the tell-tale directories like, MOODLEDATA/cache/, localcache/, muc/, etc. Just don't touch MOODLEDATA/filedir/! Also purge the caches in your browser.

No Windows person. Just guessing from the error message: Can Apache write in the MOODLEDATA/sessions directory? MOODLEDATA is what is in the config.php against $CFG->dataroot.

In Moodle kommt das Thema an zwei Stellen vor: Eben, die erwaehnten Lernplaene und Kompetenzen. Als Zusatzplugin dann das Programs. Nicht selber gebraucht.

Thanks for checking. You say, when you visit moodle.org forums logged in as a user, your don't see any calls to any *.6sc.co sites under Network in the Web development tools? You don't know exactly what the server-side does, I mean, you are not a system administrator of moodle.org, right?

Indeed the "looping" visits to *.6sc.co are gone on my side. But on every time I load a page on moodle.org, there are a few tracking warnings, a call to *.6sc.co is always there. I'm trying in an incognito browser window in Firefox. I notice that Ghostery is active even in the incognito window. That is the only active tracking extension on this browser.

In the normal browser window the call is more sophisticated:

 

 

Alarm! Saw some Google traffic above. To my dismay found Google Analytics too!



@site-admins. If you know another har file, let me know.

 

P.S. Only now saw that Ghostery regularly gives 3-5 warnings. A random report is attached.
