I recently upgraded my website from Moodle 2.3 to 2.8.5. Most things are working fine.
Now my biggest problem is the automated backups are only generating for the 2 smallest courses (zip files) out of the 15 courses on my website. The courses that I have generated manual backups for that are bigger than 15 M up to about 155 M do not generate automated backups.
Since I don't know how to set up the cron job, I signed up for the free version of EasyCron and it is running successfully (The warning notifications in the Moodle Website that a "cron job has not run in more than 24 hours" have disappeared).
In my other php.ini settings I have reset the following:
post_max_size = 500M
upload_max_filesize = 500M
My website is hosted by BlueHost and I made these edited the changes in the cPanels File Manager.
As you can guess, I am a PC neophyte (＾▽＾) and cannot follow any of the html code or other jargon (i.e. I can't even set up the cron job)
I really hope some "kind and patient soul" can coach me through this. The academic year starts in a few days here in Japan (^_^;). Thanks in advance!!!
