Need some help.

I'm headed home now, but I really need some help tomorrow.

I tried to move our school site to a new server and it's just not working. I can't get joomdle/joomla to talk to Moodle and now when I visit the joomdle auth setting page in moodle all I get is Section error! as if it's not installed. I tried all the tips here:

www.joomdle.com/wiki/System_health_check
and I'm running a 2.5.19 site with joomla .95 and moodle 2.6. It works on the old server, but not on the new server. I managed to get all the urls changed over (as far as I can tell), but I need some way for moodle to think joomdle isn't install so it installs it again. I don't mind editing the db if I have to remove or add things.

I can give you access if you private message me.

thanks!

The old site used Joomdle .94 and I reinstalled the old db, updated the url anywhere I could find it, and then I manually updated joomdle to .95 but when I visit notifications it says nothing. No database update at all. Even before I updated to .94 I can't get to the joomdle auth config screen, it just doesn't work. I have no idea how I can get this site moved and working. Nothing I've tried works

Aha! in the plugins overview the Joomdle auth plugin says To Be Installed...except I can't figure out how to get it installed because Notifications isn't doing it.

Edit: I updated another plugin and in the process it must have fixed the joomdle plugin. I can get to the settings. Joomla still can't see it (the last 3 items in system check are still red).

Okay, I moved a copy of the db tables INTO the joomla db, then I ran the moodle replace tool and changed ALL the settings I could find of the old url to the new one, and now I'm running akeeba on the whole thing. Once it's moved (again) I'll change the conf settings and see what happens.

Okay, new copy is farther along, Joomdle thinks everything is okay, but any amount of trying to log into moodle (using the admin url or by logging into joomla first), forwards me back to joomla. I can't get into moodle at all. Digging through the DB, but any help would be appreciated.

thanks!

Argh. Basically, moodle is redirecting back to the joomla site. If I try the secret admin login url, I get a too many redirects loop and it bails completely. Right now I'm completely stuck and can't get into moodle at all.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

So it's fixed. What was it? Turns out, even though I clear the browser cache every few minutes, Safari must have another cache. Antonio emailed me to tell me that I gave him the wrong url, and he posted the right one. The right one was in fact the one I had been using, I just typed it wrong in the email to him.

Except I tried it in Chrome this time...and everything was fine. The bad redirect was stuck somewhere in safari.

SOOO annoying. But at least it's fixed.

On a side note, the steps I took:

#1 backed up moodle db and then added it to the Joomla db so it would get backed up by Akeeba
#2 Logged into moodle and joomla and changed every URL I could find. I also ran the migration change tool moodle suggests using in their migration steps
#3 backed the site up to Amazon S3 via akeeba
#4 used Kickstart Pro to pull the backup from S3 and install on new server
#5 changed the moodle config urls and then went into the db and searched for the old url and changed it in a few more places.

Then I manually downloaded and uploaded the moodledata folder to the new server, and cleared the cache and session files from it.

Somewhere along the line something freaked in safari and I got stuck in a login redirect loop.
