Then that must come before the answer. Otherwise the reader doesn't know. All sorts of people consult Moodle Docs.

I know, you did that in the case of the Rewrite of Ubuntu Step by step. But this, Moodle migration, is a different discussion.

I doubt that. Copying and pasting Unix commands is not learning anything - except maybe the hard way (through small explosions and vapourized data). We spoke about some cases in the Ubuntu step-by-step discussion.

> may deter some users who can migrate using GUI database and file operations

What about the other end of the spectrum? See:
This article is written with the assumption that Moodle will be hosted on a single server. But what about large Moodle installations that are hosted on multiple "load balanced" servers? These sites may share the Moodledata folder using e.g. NAS storage. The database may also be hosted on a different database server.

The site is a Moodle 4.1.15 LTS, mod_hvp is 1.27.1 (2024112100), PHP 7.4.

Where should I start debugging? H5P noob here. ;-(

I have a staging upgrade of the site running - Moodle 4.5.1 LTS, mod_hvp is 1.27.1 (2024112100), PHP 8.2. It displays the activity faultlessly.

How can I get H5P in the 4.1.15 LTS working? It is our production site! We need to run it for another couple of months. This is not the only H5P activity failing, literally hundreds more are failing. I think they belong to a subset of activity types, this one is of type Course Presentation. There are a few more. 

Now at the end of the calendar year the activity is high and the priority is also high!

Moodle in English -> Workshop -> how to -Adjusting student submission after allocation phase completed -> Re: how to -Adjusting student submission after allocation phase completed

I don't understand. Do you mean the activity is currently in the Assessment phase? A student who missed the Submission phase now need to be given the chance to submit?

Then you need to set the Late submissions. Then the student can submit. To allocate him reviews, you need to take the Workshop back to the Submission phase, go through reallocation and come back to the Assessment phase. Depending on how the reviews were allocated that new person may get fewer reviewers or no reviewers at all!
