Hi, you are right, I gave no context. 😅
We have Moodle 2.8, and Bluehost updated to PHP 7 a while ago. So we are not able to login. We need to extract courses and resources. So I'm trying to migrate the website to a local Moodle instalation in my Mac. I installed the MAMP version for 2.8 because that one comes with PHP 5.x
But the database is over 800 Mb. So I'm trying to learn how to export and import without corrupting the database, it seems that phpMyAdmin may corrupt the database if it is too big.
So while I figure out how to do that, I wanted to try and download the few courses that we actually need, the platform has almost 200 courses. So I was able to follow the instructions mentioned before, and I got the list of courses with their IDs. But when I try to download any course nothing will happen. The idea would be to import the course to the local MAMP installation.
When it comes to people concerned about it. We only have a couple of professors who really need those resources by the end of next week. But everybody else is working on a new Moodle installation in a new (and better) hosting. All the students are there too.
I am also thinking that as a last resort, I could try and update Moodle all the way up to 3.x. I know is not the best practice, but I guess that would be the final try. I'm leaving that as a last option because the database may get corrupted in the process.
