We're using SQL server 2008 and I've just found the disc space on our eclipse server down to 0 bytes because of the wbls database log file of 102Gb! We run about 10K books with about 2000 users and 600+ current loans So to truncate the log files (from experience with SIMS): 1 Logon to the server and run the SQL Server Management studio. 2 Expand databases 3 Select the database and right click, select properties. 4 Check files to see that the file is part of the database. 5 Click Options and change the recovery model to simple, OK that. 6 Right click the database name again and from the menu select shrink/Files 7 Once it completes repeat steps 3 and 4 but change the recovery model to full. That will manually shrink the transaction logs and free up the disc space to let the SQL server continue.

Well I've setup both Foundation and Higher Active Teach for maths as well as active teach content for Science and Modern Foreign Languages without a problem. The VLE packs have to be downloaded from the Pearson site as zip files, I then insert each zip as a SCORM pack into the course. Each zip is then opened up and installed by Moodle itself. The only problem I've run into with Active Teach is the sheer size of the content packages cause Moodle to have fits with the scheduled backup. Every course I've installed to date ends up unfinished, one MFL course has a 1.7Gb backup file. So the server is timing out or running out of memory. This also presents problems for the upgrade to 2.4 I have in planning (we're 1.9 atm) But other than backups no problems have been reported by any teachers, most hadn't realised that Moodle could use their discs.
