how to fix moodle installation Dataroot security error - moodle

I'm trying to install Moodle 2 on a localhost server and I'm having trouble making the moodledata directory secure
error msg say
Dataroot location is not secure

The dataroot folder has to be outside the web folder.
So if you have something like /var/www/yourmoodlesite
Then dataroot should something like /var/sitedata

Testing Jetty server of Jasper Reports Integration

I am trying to use JasperReports integration for the first time. I am using the included Jetty server, Oracle database XE 18c and Windows 7.
I am following the quick start guide https://github.com/daust/JasperReportsIntegration/blob/main/src/doc/github/installation-quickstart.md
I downloaded the zip folder, configuired database access through adding schema credentials in application.properties file as follows...
[datasource:default] type=jdbc
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:XEPDB1 username=hr password=hr
this parameter is limiting access to the integration for the specified
list of ip addresses, e.g.:
ipAddressesAllowed=127.0.0.1,10.10.10.10,192.168.178.31 if the list is
empty, ALL addresses are allowed.
Then I deployed the jri.war file successfully. Then I started the server successfully as well. But when I tried to test it through http://localhost:8090/, I got the following page, and I do not know if that's the norm or there's something wrong...
I need to know if testing is successful, and what's meant by "context" here?
Thanks
You deployed the jri.war to the context path /jri, this isn't an error, and is quite normal.
Just access your webapp via http://localhost:8080/jri/

Presto 313 password-authenticator. properties doesn't work with file

I'm running presto in K8s and I'm trying to enable file based authentication for the service (using this as a guide https://prestosql.io/docs/current/security/password-file.html). However, as the application is starting up I get an error saying:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Password authenticator file is not registered
config.properties

http-server.https.keystore.key=*************
password-authenticator.properties
password-authenticator.name=file
file.password-file=/opt/presto-server/etc/password.db
The rest of the config looks perfectly sane so does anybody know what I might have missed here?
Thanks,
Password file authentication was added in version 327, so you need to upgrade it.

Jorani [Open Source Leave Management] - Local Server Issue

I have hosted the jorani Open Source LMS, under local server and after logging in, redirects me to home page (http://localhost/lms/home), but I get a 404 - File or directory not found. error.
What can I do to fix this? I know I need a server configuration but I don't know what. Thanks
It seems that you didn't activate the rewrite module.
Jorani contains a page at the root of the installation (e.g. http://localhost/lms/requirements.php) that checks your system and tell you what is missing.
You should read the manual of installation.

Setting moodle online

Good day everyone, I have been trying to put my moodle online so pcs from internet can access it, but until now, no luck at all. (Im using moodle 2.3.2 on Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7).
I tried to configure the moodle file config.php, setting the directive $CFG -> wwwroot = "my-public-ip/moodle". Then, when I access to moodel from the server, I can access it by "http://my-public-ip/moodle", when I try to access via localhost, it sends an error which it is OK.
But the funny part comes when I try to access the server from an outside pc. When I type "http://my-public-ip/moodle" it simply cant "see" the configuration I made to the config.php file (it says: This server cna only be accessed via localhost/moodle) it looks like the outside pcs are either ignoring it, or searching for another configuration file. I dont know what the hell is happening, this is very odd.
Any ideas?? tnx!!!
Change the following file:
lib-->setuplib.php
Redirect ($CFG->wwwroot, get_string('wwwrootmismatch', 'error', $CFG->wwwroot), 3);
for
Redirect ($CFG->wwwroot, get_string('wwwrootmismatch', 'error', $CFG->wwwroot), 0);
I realise this is an old question, but it's also worth pointing out you may need to also run the database search and replace script, at:
http://my-public-ip/moodle/admin/tool/replace/index.php
as referenced in Method 2 here.
This is required if you change the name of the site once you have installed it. If you were already using Moodle under "localhost", then there will be a number of references to the old localhost address stored in the database that need to be updated to the new IP-based address.
It might be because the http:// part is missing?
$CFG->wwwroot = "my-public-ip/moodle"
should be
$CFG->wwwroot = "http://my-public-ip/moodle"
