Hi all I position for PHP Developer has come up at Midkent College College Job Vacancies

I use mRemoteNG I have it set up with the experimental sql option which means that several of use can share the same list of server. It's no longer supported but if works well.

the easiest way is to go to the locaiton and the look do cd /var/log/apache2 ls cd = change directory - use 'cd ..' o go up a directory ls - list files - the same a 'dir' on windows top tip is to use the tab key to autocomplete as this makes moving around faster and stop you having the remember all the paths so cd /v 'tab key; lo tab key apa tab key I think part of the issue it that I put he paths as 'logs' not 'log' in an earlier post

Although of course Google classroom is a VLE

that depends on if you just just a file access system or if you want quizs, assignment submission, grading , tracking, flip learning content, interactive content etc.

ok it's log time then :-) tail -f /var/logs/apache/error.log will give you a live log of your apache (you might need to adjust this if you've set up a virtual host) and: tail -f /var/logs/syslog will give you a live log of the system itself best bet is to fire up two putty sessions at a time and run one command in each. Then try to log in and you'll see what's occuring

Have you made sure to add your moodle domain name into the 'trusted sites' in internet explorer?

you do need the server to be part of the domain. instructions are here; https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/NTLM_authentication make sure to search for '14.04' on the page and take note of the paragraph about winbindd permissions

If you find that amusing you'll be wanting this gem of t'youtube:

What's the point version of your joomla site? the latest is 2.5.28 - if you're below this version might that be what's flagging it up?

You could do that with wamp or xamp of each machine. that would be a right headache though We use ehcp (Easy Hosting Control Panel | for Ubuntu and alikes...- Free Fast Opensource web hosting control panel for your server **) on a linux server. The tutors can create account on this as needed like studentwebserver.x.ac.uk/joeblogs They also create a mysql database on there. The student then use dreamweaver to hook up to it and fiddle with code and send to it. Whilst your tutor might think ftping code to a server is a hassle it's how an awful lots of web developers work so the students should possibly get used to it - unless they are using vagrant, docker, a local vm or other. I also recommend phpstorrm (https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/) which has a free version for education. once set up it can automatically upload files via ssh/ ftp when saved and unlike dreamweaver it's not god awful :-)

Hi all the following post is available now at MidKent College PHP Programmer/Developer Happy to answer any questions as needed

probably not much in terms of performance. You might have some issues with support though. Most of the documentation (and testing) is written around LAMP stacks

probably PDO actually

have you seen this: https://office365drivemap.codeplex.com/

oh Owasp Zap is a new one to me. I'm firing it at couple of my sites now I'm happy to set it to scan your site as well jollity if you want

but if it is on 5.3 makes sure it's he latest version of it for your operating system

my suggestion is to ditch the cms and get a new one. If you hire a consultant that might find problems with it and fix them. There is guarantee though that there might not be more issues found and exploited in the future (think of it like still using XP). also check that your host system is fully up to date - os, php version, mysql version, .net version or whatever it runs on.

I don't think it's moaning about anything - thats just maintenance cronjobs doing their thing

I recommend you install htop it's much more readable and functional However your top is showing that you have 2 gigs of ram of which 1 gig ish is free which is a good thing - although if you have lots of users connecting you might need to up this at a later date. htop will show the state of the cpus better next step then it to start looking in the logs tail -f /var/log/syslog will show you any server type issues when you're accesing the moodle tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log will show you any apache errors

What are the specs of the machine that it's hosted on? Is it a physical box or a vm? If you run 'top' or 'htop' can you see if the resources are maxed out?

thats interesting. I've tried it but can't get it to work. This might well be due to our network/ gpo though. I'll try this from home tonight

Hello We've been having a big debate in the office and I'm hoping that some people might have some thoughts. The debate is this: We have office 365 for all students. We've been playing with the one drive for business syncing app and it doesn't work reliably. As a student was when using an office product that can save directly to their one drive. When using the office 365 web editors it all saves directly. However the problem arised when they are working in a different product such as photoshop. Currently they work on the file, save it to their local drive then drag that file onto their web based one drive. This is a bit long and tedious. Lots of students are still using USB drives and external drives etc - which of course break and get lost We've looking at a drive mapping option which maps a local unc drive to their one drive. However this is expensive and in my view will cause confusion (when in college save to your Z drive, when at home download the file from one drive, edit it and re upload it as per above) We can't be the only college having this issues and we'd really like to get some input as to what other colleges and schools have done to address this.

I've PM'd you as well

this is pretty good as well: https://www.alienvault.com/ it's a bit more of hassle to set up but will scan your whole network
