Hi James,

I've updated the patch - seems like the code (which is from a third-
party system) does not work as expected any more.

I have a feeling it was from a time where PHP on windows only understood
\ as directory separator vs linux using /

But now windows uses and understands / just fine

I've commented out that piece of code - can you test the new patch
https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/9272/3 and see if it works as expected
for you?

Cheers
Robert

Title:
  Unable to upgrade to Mahara 18.10.0 on windows

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I was trying to upgrade my existing 18.04.2 Mahara installation to latest 18.10.0 on my windows environment server. However I am getting "Mahara: Site unavailable
  A nonrecoverable error occurred. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system " error when I visit http://siteurl/admin/upgrade.php?rerun=1&urlsecret='mysecret'

  To debug this further, I had uncommented $cfg->productionmode = false;
  in config.php to see the errors and I found that it was giving error
  on {Path to Mahara}/lib/dwoo/dwoo/Dwoo/Template/Str.php line 530
  unable to chmod.....

  I guess this is happening because of "if (strpos(PHP_OS, 'WIN') !==
  false && $baseDir !== null)" condition. Instead of this if I replace
  false with 0 i.e "if (strpos(PHP_OS, 'WIN') !== 0 && $baseDir !==
  null)" the upgrade works fine.

  Can you please confirm is this the known issue ? Or am I missing on
  something ?
