New Moodle Nightmare and Disaster Recovery

May 7th, 2008 by Stevp

The last couple of days have been hectic. The planned Moodle migration was brought forward quite abruptly as the mainboard of the current webserver gave up and moved on to a better place. Migrations and disaster recovery are much easier when its not a real scenario. However, after a twelve hour day yesterday the vast majority of the websites have been moved to a new server and the Moodle install restored and upgraded.

I’ve learnt loads of IIS stuff in the last twenty four hours, certainly a lot more than I intended to. So here is a quick list of How Tos to look forward to

  • Application Pools
  • Enabling ASP
  • Anonymous user account access
  • IIS Host headers

and not to mention

  • Moodle installation
  • Moodle Upgrade
