When click "Snapshot master Moodle" and go to step2 then show "Database dump command not available". How should I do the next?

vfremaux commented 3 years ago

this is probably because your dump command is not correctly pointed in the global settings of VMoodle, or that your dump command, (usually /usr/bin/mysqldump) cannot be used by the running user of your web server.

Where can I find new document about vmoodle? or could you guide me to solve the question of "Database dump command not available"?

vfremaux commented 3 years ago

Hi thomas : in the global settings for VMoodle you are requested to give the path of the mysqldump command.

thomasfeng61 commented 3 years ago

The global settings are in the "Virtual Moodle instances manager"? or where I can edit them?

vfremaux commented 3 years ago

Global settings are in : Site Administration Plugins > Local plugins > VMoodle

cheers

It works. Thanks a lot. Next, How do I use Moodle snapshot to deploy a new platform?

vfremaux commented 3 years ago

the overall process is the following :

first you install a "normal moodle" with its main config file.
then you add the vmoodle pack and activate it in config with the confg hook.
then you actually snapshot the main install, u.sing the dump command. This will create a snapshot in the moodledata/vmoodle directory.
now you can create a new virtual instance from the virtual instances management screen, choosing this template as base.

Note that you may setup the global vmoodle settings that let you take some defaults for new instances

The MNET networking management is also an advanced topic that can do a lot, but is a bit tricky without support...

After finish the process of master moodle snapshot , I try to use a vmoodle template to create a new instance. Then appear a error message "error writing to database". Could you give me a helpful suggestion?
