I have problem after running php admin/cli/upgrade.php : "!!! Error: database driver problem detected The site administrator should verify server configurationPHP has not been properly configured with the MySQLi extension for it to communicate with MySQL. Please check your php.ini file or recompile PHP. !!!" In the php.ini file I have omitted the ; at extension=mysqli. But still can't. Can you help me?
Make sure to restart Apache. Also make sure that you've installed the php-mysql extension for your php version in use by apache. Running php -m should list the module for mysql. Also try the other cli script for environment checks which will list out all other issues. Let me know if still having trouble, it can be tricky!
@@moodletips i have restarted apache. And used "php -m" and only found Modules mysqlnd. But I don't have any other Modules related to mysql. What should I do next? (I use windows operating system)
was going well untiil updating via the terminal. might have been "quicker" for you but definately didn't save me any time and you also opend moodle to show updates, but when i done it i got nothing.. no idea how to run the upgrade script in the phpstorm terminal because it doesn't like $php or php or anything remotely to what you put in :(. the documentation also doesn't help i started again and followed it through and still no new themes show up.. after a few hours of messing around i finally got it to work.
It can definitely be tricky, some of the worst problems I've had in web dev is when simply nothing happens and it's supposed to.. Did you get the command line to work too?
Hi, i was wondering how to run the php admin/cli/upgrade.php syntax in the terminal. Im using vscode on windows 10, i installed the moodle and mysql on xampp. Any help would be appreciated
you will need to find the right directory where all your files and folders are. in xampp that can be tricky to find, usually on windows they're at "C:\xampp\htdocs" something like that
Web Data Folder, which loads PHP files @ C:\xampp\htdocs ... on Webbrowser its: localhost PHP files @ C:\xampp\php You can access your database via localhost/phpmyadmin on your Webbrowser
To your question Ivan Firmansyah: If you dont use the IDE you need to open the XAMPP Control Panel then hit the "Shell" Button and navigate to your folder with the command on the Shell: cd htdocs/moodle after that you can type in: php admin/cli/upgrade.php
it shows "php warning: module 'intl' already loaded in unknown on line 0". But nevermind though, i'll just use the long-way upgrade. Thanks a lot for your responses :) @kristian r @rotioNN
@@ivanfirmansyah9771 To navigate to the PHP.ini, Open your XAMPP Control Panel and then Press the Button "Config" by the Module "Apache". After that you should find the "php.ini" File. To fix this problem, you must edit your php.ini file and comment-out the extensions that are already compiled-in. For example, after editing, your ini file may look like the lines below: ;extension=intl I'm not sure if you know this already but for security I'm advicing this: the semicolon means that it is commented out. If this doesn't help then you should contact me on UA-cam and message me your Discord name or something similar like Steam to communicate instantly.
It's probably because you need to clear moodle caches, the lang strings are pretty heavily cached. Otherwise you might have the language file incorrectly named - plugin/lang/en/XXX.php - it needs to be in the exact right location with the right name for Moodle to find it. moodledev.io/general/development/policies/codingstyle/frankenstyle#language-files
The best tutorial I've ever seen. Please don't stop. Expect a full video series on theme or plugin development.

How can I upgrade any theme to be compatible with Moodle3.10);
Most themes should already be compatible unless they're very old. I would just install it and test it. The best would be if the theme has tests
