1. Clean Logs Created Under \/home<\/code><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you need to clean all logs created under \/home<\/code> with filenames like cron.php?2323<\/code> every 12 hours, you can achieve this using a cron job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Create a file named clean-cron-logs.php<\/code> and add the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
array_map<\/span>(<\/span>'unlink'<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>glob<\/span>(<\/span>"..\/cron.php?*"<\/span>))<\/span>;<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Add this file to your cron jobs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
\/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>bin<\/span>\/<\/span>php<\/span> <\/span>\/<\/span>home<\/span>\/<\/span>public_html<\/span>\/<\/span>clean<\/span>-<\/span>cron<\/span>-<\/span>logs<\/span>.<\/span>php<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
This setup ensures that all matching log files are deleted every 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
2. Change Moodle’s Root Path<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To change Moodle\u2019s root path, you can modify the config.php<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Locate the line below in config.php<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
$CFG<\/span>-><\/span>wwwroot<\/span> <\/span>=<\/span> <\/span>'http:\/\/yourdomain.com'<\/span>;<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Change it to the desired path:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
$CFG<\/span>-><\/span>wwwroot<\/span> <\/span>=<\/span> <\/span>'http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/the_path_to_be_the_root'<\/span>;<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Remember to comment out the previous line to keep track of the change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
\/\/<\/span>$CFG->wwwroot = 'http:\/\/yourdomain.com';<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
3. Dynamic Root Path Based on Domain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To set Moodle\u2019s root path dynamically based on the client\u2019s domain, you can use the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
if<\/span> (<\/span>false<\/span> <\/span>!==<\/span> <\/span>strpos<\/span>(<\/span>$_SERVER<\/span>[<\/span>'HTTP_HOST'<\/span>]<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>"yourrefdomain"<\/span>)) <\/span>{<\/span><\/span>\n    <\/span>$CFG<\/span>-><\/span>wwwroot<\/span> <\/span>=<\/span> <\/span>'https:\/\/yourrefdomain.com'<\/span>;<\/span><\/span>\n}<\/span> <\/span>else<\/span> <\/span>{<\/span><\/span>\n    <\/span>$CFG<\/span>-><\/span>wwwroot<\/span> <\/span>=<\/span> <\/span>'https:\/\/yournormaldomain.com'<\/span>;<\/span><\/span>\n}<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
This allows Moodle to serve different root paths depending on the domain from which the client is accessing the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
