How do I restore an older graphics course that is way over the file upload limit?
This happens when you do not want to change the maxfile upload on your Moodle site but you do have access to the moodledata folder via FTP or some other program. There are two answers here, but they are in fact the same thing, just executed in different ways. • If you DO NOT know the settings or Moodle ID of the course here is the quick and dirty: FTP your backup zip file to the site files folder, which is normally the folder named “1” inside the Moodledata folder. Go to Site Administration > Front Page > Front Page restore and go through the restore options. Restore the course to a new course and remember to delete the zip file from the front page files or from the moodledata/1 folder. All files in the site files folder are visible to all Users. It is a good idea to backup your new course right away. • Longer method with detailed instructions: Log into Moodle and create a new course, Ideally this will have the same course settings as the old course. Have your backup of the old course
