Considering that Linux is free, also as in "free bier", value divided by money is infinite!

OIC. You mean the hosting fee.

+10 from the Debian GNU/Linux faction. Ubuntu Linux and many many more (128!) are Debian derivatives.
 
Now about the "super user friendly Moodle Installation website". There are two types of "websites" (HTML pages): 1. Tutorial, 2. Reference.
 
Tutorial is to learn how to do it. The page suggested does a good job, nicely formatted with graphical elements and, above all, it includes links to prerequisites like the Unix file permissions. Installing Moodle is a reference. It is pure text and terminal sessions, assumes you know what chmod or mkdir means (without asking Ken). ;)

Moodle in English -> Moodle community sites -> moodle.org down 30 min ago (11 Nov 2024, ~07:00 GMT)? -> Re: moodle.org down 2024-11-18 around 19:00 hrs

Maybe unrelated. Still posting in an old thread not to clutter the forum.

The dgfdb: 6379 error returned 2024-11-18 around 19:00 GMT. In Firefox. Often when that happens another browser reacts. This time Chromium showed the same error. So, there was something.

After about 15 min, 2024-11-18 19:15 GMT, Chromium came up with "The connection is not secure". (Attachment).

When I tried an hour or two later, all was normal.

One more 'final post' ...

The king is dead, long live the king!

It wasn't made clear that you had the code from former provider! sad

The OP hasn't objected to: 

>>>> b) The OP has all the three components of a Site backup intact.

Ref. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=463140#p1861204

The OP was stoically silent. The helpers imagined his problems amplified them echoing concerns and tried their best to solve them. Well done!

MAMP wasn't designed for large sites.

So, what should be inscribed on the grave stone?

But wait, there's the bow wave: We have to get ready for the VIP delegation of the school's "Committee on Educational Technology". Let's do our homework. Oh, I see, Rick did the lion's share. Thanks, Rick!
