If you are restoring from a zip file backup make sure the moodle.xml file is at the root level. To ensure this: • Unzip the backup file of the course (example: mycourse.zip) • Once the file is unzipped, open the folder (example: mycourse). • Select the folders within the mycourse folder AND the moodle.xml file and create a zip of those item (example: mycourse_new.zip) • Upload the new zip file (example: mycourse_new.zip) and restore from that. If the backup file is guaranteed to be correct, check paths to external files (zip, unzip). Incorrect settings also lead to this error message (see the Using Moodle forum discussion moodle.xml not found in root… and MDL-14812).
