I'd say, even though I would do minimal OS an build, that for you cPanel is a plus. And I predict you will be tweaking server settings for sure. Moodle is a different beast from WordPresses etc. What you choose from their menu of offerings is more than likely not going to be minimal OS (nothing but ssh and OP builds what OP desires in AMP stack), but a vision of engineers of hosting believes customers need. You've also not mentioned who your hosting provider is. but that also depends on how much you can afford. How many users? How many concurrent users? How many courses? What's the size of the largest course backup? Relates to specs of new VPS.Ĭan say that better to have more enough than not enough. Related to that is some actual accurate info on your Moodle on the OLD VPS. can we please see those results of OLD VPS? I've asked for results of 3 commands that you will become familiar with regardless of which distro you go with. So not sure I'd believe what sales tells ya! They tend to draw the line at applications. uhhh, haven't seen many providers get into support of applications - like Moodle. So reason you are migrating - OS expiring, space, and memory. Moodle official documentation has a lot of Ubuntu. Other distro's that have been born to replace CentOS.Įven though the link below is from Google, advice is pretty solid: Recently, Rocky Linux has gotten support and appears to have pulled ahead of get used to it! It's never ending!ĬentOS 7 - support expires Jso you actually have more time than you thought! once updated to the latest version, make the Moodle site go live and close the Moodle site on the OLD VPS. Now I'm in the process of learning How to backup a Moodle site and prepare a copy/clone/staging site from the backup on the NEW VPS, then update it to the latest version. Now that I have been handed over the responsibility to maintain the VPS and Moodle site on it, I started off by first getting an overview of Moodle site and the features it offers.

and there are other updates to be done as the previous person handling this VPS and Moodle site has ignored updates for more than a year. As more users are joining the courses provided on this Moodle site, the traffic is increasing, so need a better server config to handle that traffic.

On OLD VPS, storage is almost 80% full(not an SSD), Everyday data is uploaded in some form(course-related), Need more storage to take backups/ prepare a staging website and apply the updates. Software support for the OLD VPS ends in December 2022. So, on the NEW VPS, is it advised to go with CentOS only, or can we choose to go with some other? Ubuntu? Debian? The operating system on OLD VPS is CentOS. do we really know about anyone we help in these forums? Many times there are bad actors that have upstream network (providers) that happen to be the same as OP who is not a bad actor.Īnyhoo, have asked OP to share with me the IPv4 address using, and I'll see about removing the IP/IP range from the drop zone on my server so OP can access the 'cureclas' moodle site.Īs usual. But leave xfer in case you have more to transfer later - like a few course backups.ĭescribed all that in a 'cureclas' moodle site (a page), unfortunately, OP is in India and even though I provided the OP with a url to 'cureclas' (which I did via PM), I have evidently blocked the IP address OP is using. Google and other indexing systems can find. For that one might have to wrap the wget command in a nohup (no hang up).Īfter successful transfer for files to new VPS system, on shared hosting using cPanel, remove the files in xfer. Yes, the last one will be large and take a long time (probably). one for the archive of moodledata/filedir/. Wget will acquire that file and save it in the directory where wget was executed.ĭo 3 wget commands. xfer directory is outside of Moodle thus no requirement to log into the shared Moodle. On the new VPS system, OP does have command line access and using wget is just like a text based browser. which they can do with cPanel, then copies the backups to xfer directory - can do that in cPanel as well. IF OP on shared system creates (temporary) an xfer directory in document root. where possible use server -> server - not down and then up. Presently, has to download, only to turn around and upload to new VPS. moving to a VPS which does have command line. Many moons ago folks used wget to 'webwhack' an entire static site. doesn't attempt to display like lynx/elinks text based browsers.
