PHP XML-RPC Prerequisites

If you want to use XMLRPC for web services, the PHP XML-RPC libraries must be installed and configured.

If you are installing Moodle for the first time, it will check for the existence of the PHP extension XML-RPC.  Please ensure it is installed.

If you have already installed Moodle you will need to ensure that XML-RPC is installed, you can check by using PHP Info found in the Joomla backend under Help / System Info / PHP Information.

Site Backup

Please ensure that you have backed up your web server (both Joomla! and your Moodle). If you are using a Joomla! Backup Extension such as Akeebackup, you may need to backup your Moodle data directory separately depending how you have setup and configured Moodle.
