Description

When we use the external database enrollment and run the cron script /moodle/enrol/database/enrol_database_sync.php this craches the whole php application. Moodle stops working even though mysql and http services are still running. To make Moodle work we have to remove the entire php package and then reinstall it again, then restart all service again for Moodle to work.

sync scripts are typically heavy processes for a server to run - it's possible your server is still running the script but using 100% of cpu to continue the process.

But 1.8.4 is really old and a lot has been fixed/changed since then. - please upgrade your site to the latest 1.9Stable release and try again. If you are still having trouble please post more detailed information and we can re-open this issue.
