Re: Backup stalls at "Confirmation and Review"

If I've found the right site a question ... since you said 'public_html' folder ... are you on a shared host?  or a dedicated host (VPS)?

One may not find php.ini in any app directories if on a VPS (dedicated) ... not needed.   The main php.ini file is all that is needed then.

In a 2.6.3 version of Moodle and the config-dist.php file which shows some additional config items one could set:

[root@www moodle]# cat config-dist.php |grep temp
// results in the restore process stopping when a user attempts to restore a
// Keep the temporary directories used by backup and restore without being
//     $CFG->keeptempdirectoriesonbackup = true;
//         '/tempdir/'  => '/var/www/moodle/temp',     // for custom $CFG->tempdir locations
// It is possible to specify different cache and temp directories, use local fast filesystem
//     $CFG->tempdir = '/var/www/moodle/temp';        // Files used during one HTTP request only.

Have any of the above set in your 2.4?

A 'warn' is just that ... a warning ... shouldn't stop the script in it's tracks.

Try backing up that troubled course, unchecking ANY *add-on* activities/mods/blocks ... you have to recognize them by how they were named and icons.

You should be able to manually remove anything found in moodledata/temp/backup/

Have command line access to your server?

If you do, could open a terminal session, and as root level user change into the moodledata/temp/backup/ directory.   Then issue the following:

watch "ls -lR" [ENTER]

That command will show any activity in the directory - creation of files/folders, etc..

Then use your browser to begin a backup process.  One of the first files created should be the 'roadmap' to the backup ... moodle_backup.xml.   If that file is created and the backup process halts, that file might provide a clue.

Am taking stabs here cause I've not run into the issue exactly as described before.
