Hello,

I am trying to connect two moodle 2.4.3+ systems, which are both on the same server following the Peer to Peer Network instructions on the MNet page in the MoodleDocs:

http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/MNet

When we get to test the connection (section 2.6 in the above instructions) the user gets this error message.

Ooops! Your MNET communication has failed! Here's that error message to pass on to your administrator: connect() timed out!ERROR 28:
28:connect() timed out!

Trying in the other direction also gets this error.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

• Moodle 2.4.3+
• Apache server
• MySQL 5.6.10

Hello Ann,

The Template has to be added when you set up the OU Wiki for the first time. Here are the instructions, which are visible when you click on the 'Template' help button in the OU Wiki set up page:

Thank you Tim,

The upgrade seems to have done the trick; I've managed to upgrade all the quizzes.

However, with a few quizzes I got the following error:

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Question type randomsamatch is missing important code (the file /Library/WebServer/Documents/moodle/question/type/randomsamatch/db/upgradelib.php) required to run the upgrade to the new question engine

... an issue which I believe you are already aware of: MDL-28256 & MDL-27414

Hello,

I have just successfully upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2 via 2.1, and would now like to partially upgrade the quizzes still to be upgraded.

During the upgrade to 2.1 I used Tim Hunt's qeupgradehelper and the partialupgrade.php script to upgrade just some of the 600+ quizzes we have on our site. Having checked that the upgrade to 2.1 was OK, I then upgraded to version 2.2, and everything seems to be in order.

I now want to upgrade the remaining 500 or so quizzes (=39,311 attempts & 393,157 question sessions) that were not upgraded in the upgrade from 2 to 2.1. However, whenever the cron is run, the upgrade process seems to take an inordinately long time or even stall on the 90 or so quizzes that have > 1,000 question sessions. For example, a quiz with 53 attempts and 1060 question sessions took 40 minutes to update.

So, I have tried to use the partialupgrade.php script to upgrade only the 400+ quizzes that have < 1,000 question sessions. I have tried using this code in the partialupgrade.php script

function tool_qeupgradehelper_get_quizzes_to_upgrade() {
    return array(54, ... here I list only quizzes to be updated);
}

but when the cron is run, it seems to ignore these partial upgrade 'instructions'. Using Terminal to run the cron I can see that it is attempting to upgrade even the 'large' quizzes.

So, is there a way to use partialupgrade.php after upgrading to 2.2?

Or, what could be the cause the upgrade failing on quizzes with > 1,000 question sessions?

I realise that I can manually upgrade each quiz via the Question engine upgrade helper in the Site Admin, but I'd like to avid this.

Hello Syazalina,

So you seem to want to have multiple (sub)questions in a single question?

If that's the case, you need to use the "Embedded Answers (Cloze) question type".
