Setup
- Create a directory called “static” in the public root of the webserver.
- Generate OpenSSL RSA Key Pair from the Command Line in the static directory. You can use the openssl command:
# Private key$ openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048# Extract public key$ openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out statspubkey.pem
- Verify that you can display the public key in the browser at http://localhost/static/statspubkey.pem. You'll see something like:
--
{}{}BEGIN PUBLIC KEY{}{}--
MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA6M9kHnoQOpvI
...
OHswYc JwIDAQAB
--{}{}END PUBLIC KEY{}{}-- - Add the following code somewhere before the final lib/setup.php inclusion in your config.php:
const HUB_STATSPUBLICKEY = 'http://localhost/static/statspubkey.pem';
- In Site administration > General > Security > HTTP Security remove "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" from the "cURL blocked hosts list" if present.
- Download the attached file get_moodle_version.php
.
Test 1 - Moodle instance with the patch applied
- Run the script:
$ php get_moodle_version.php- Enter the URL of the site to test, like https://localhost/stable_master/moodle
- Enter the relative/absolute path to the private key created in the Setup section, like static/private.pem.
- Confirm that the scripts returns the Moodle version, something like Moodle version: 4.0dev+ (Build: 20220208).
Test 2 - Moodle instance without the patch applied
- Repeat step 1 from Test 1, but this time introduce the URL of a Moodle instance without the patch, like https://stats.moodle.org.
- Confirm you get the message "Endpoint doesn't exist".

As a consequence of MDL-69333 the Moodle linkchecker is no longer able to detect Moodle site version based on parsing contents of certain files.
After discussion (MDLSITE-6486), it was agreed to add a new endpoint in LMS that returns the Moodle version.
