Dear all, 

thank you for providing a new mahara 21.04.0 release with new features. 

I upgraded mahara from version mahara-19.04.1 to the version mahara-21.04.0. 
Server-Version: 10.3.27-MariaDB-0+deb10u1 - Debian 10
PHP-Version: 7.3.19-1~deb10u1

It seems the database upgrade worked. But the upgrade ended with the three messages: 
The installed plugin "module: assessmentreport" could not be found and has been disabled.
The installed plugin "blocktype:placeholder" could not be found and has been disabled
The installed plugin "blocktype:verification" could not be found and has been disabled
Your current SimpleSAMLPHP library version is out of date. You need to run "make cleanssphp && make ssphp".

Setting the the blocktypes in the database table blocktype_installed as active is set back by the mahara system with the mentioned notifications: 
The installed plugin "blocktype:placeholder" could not be found and has been disabled
The installed plugin "blocktype:verification" could not be found and has been disabled

Error.log: 
Got error 'PHP message: [WAR] 24 (init.php:486) The block type "placeholder" needs to be installed and be active. If it is already installed, please set it to be active in the table "blocktype_installed" in the database.PHP message: Call stack (most recent first):PHP message:   * require() at mahara-21.04.0/htdocs/admin/extensions/plugins.php:15PHP message: ', referer: mysite/admin/index.php

I appreciate your advices to fix the problem. 

All the best

Hi Christiana,

Hmm those plugins mentioned should exist in your copy of Mahara 21.04

There should be files in the htdocs/blocktype/placeholder/  and htdocs/blocktype/verification/ directories

See https://git.mahara.org/mahara/mahara/-/tree/21.04_STABLE/htdocs/blocktype/  for those pugins to see what they should contain

Cheers

Dear Robert, 

thank you very much for your hint. I found all plugins at their place in my copy of Mahara 21.04.

Owner of the files in the directory and subdirectories /mahara/htdocs was root 644 -
I changed the owner rights to root 755. 

After changing the owner rights I activated the module and the blocktypes in the database again:
table "module_installed" name "assessmentreport" active "1"
table "blocktype_installed" name "placeholder" active "1"
table "blocktype_installed" name "verification" active "1"

Now the installation works (((:

Thank you very much for your support. 

All the best
Christiana
