      1. In the database, edit the {prefix}_config table, add or change the existing userquota setting with a new value higher than your local PHP_INT_MAX
      2. As admin in your site purge cache
      3. As admin, enable "Mobile services": Site administration ► Mobile app ► Mobile settings

      Mobile app

      1. Acess to the site using the mobile app
      2. Confirm you don't receive any error, and you are able to browse the site

      Web services

      • For Moodle 3.4:
        1. From Site administration ► Development ► Web service test client, execute the core_webservice_get_site_info function. Use Authentication method = token and a non-admin user token.
        2. Check that you receive a userquota that is equal to your PHP_INT_MAX
      • For Moodle 3.2, 3.3 and even 3.4:
        1. Call WS from command line using the following sentence: curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_XX/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'wsfunction=core_webservice_get_site_info&wstoken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' | python -m "json.tool" . You will need to change:
          • stable_XX for the corresponding Moodle URL
          • XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for the non-admin user token
        2. Check that you receive a userquota that is equal to your PHP_INT_MAX

       

      IMPORTANT: If you need a token, please generate it via Site administration ► Plugins ► Web services ► Manage tokens, and associate it to a non admin user (for admin users behaviour will be different)

      Yesterday we received a message from a Moodle admin that couldn't login in her site using the Moodle Mobile app. We checked what was going on and we found out that the get_site_info WS was returning this error:

      usermaxuploadfilesize => Invalid response value detected: Invalid external api response: the value is "10485760000", the server was expecting "int" type

      This value comes from this setting:

      Site Administration > Security > Site Policies > Maximum uploaded file size

      The max value of the setting depends on the server configuration, so it can overflow an integer and cause the WS to fail.
