Modifying the php.ini file

These instructions show you how to change the file upload size by editing your php.ini file.

For the most part these instructions amount to the following. In the file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini you need to change “post_max_size”, “upload_max_filesize” and “max_execution_time” to values that suit your needs using whatever editor you are used to.

Below are some line by line instructions for various installations of Moodle

[mysqld]
innodb_file_format = Barracuda
innodb_file_per_table = 1
innodb_large_prefix

character-set-server = utf8mb4

– Adjust the $CFG->dboptions Array in your config.php to make sure that Moodle uses the right Collation when connecting to the MySQL Server:

$CFG->dboptions = array(
  …
  'dbcollation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',

Zaide – Mozart

Jovan Stosic March 13, 2019

Zaide (originally, Das Serail) is an unfinished German-language opera, K. 344, written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1780. Emperor Joseph II, in 1778, was in the process of setting up an opera company for the purpose of performing German opera. One condition required of the composer to join this company was that he should write a comic opera. At Salzburg in 1779 Mozart began work on a new opera (now known as Zaide although Mozart did not give it such a title). It contains spoken dialogue, which also classifies it as a Singspiel (literally, “singing play”). Only the arias and ensembles from the first two acts were composed. Missing are an overture and third act.

Diminished triad

Jovan Stosic March 13, 2019

In music, a diminished triad (also known as the minor flatted fifth[citation needed]) is a triad consisting of two minor thirds above the root. It is a minor triad with a lowered (flattened) fifth. When using popular-music symbols, it is indicated by the symbols “dim”, “o”, “m♭5”, or “MI(♭5)”. For example, the diminished triad built on C, written as Co, has pitches C–E♭–G♭:
