POST-INSTALL CONFIGURATION FOR MOODLE
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
1) Create a user and a database for Moodle to store all
|
|
its tables in (or choose an existing database).
|
|
It doesn't matter what the database or user names are,
|
|
as this will be configured in a later step.
|
|
NOTE: this package assumes that either the phpX-pgsql
|
|
or phpX-mysql packages are installed, as needed.
|
|
|
|
2) Add the following to your Apache configuration, and
|
|
restart the server:
|
|
|
|
Alias /moodle %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%/
|
|
AcceptPathInfo On ### Add this directive only for Apache 2.0.30 or later.
|
|
<Directory %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%>
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
|
Order Allow,Deny
|
|
Allow from all
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
<Directory %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDATADIR%%>
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
|
Order Deny,Allow
|
|
Deny from all
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
|
|
3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser (i.e.,
|
|
http://your.server.com/moodle/), and you should
|
|
be taken to the install.php script, which will lead
|
|
you through creating a config.php file and then
|
|
setting up Moodle, creating an admin account, etc.
|
|
|
|
At one step, you will get a message saying that the
|
|
installer script was not able to automatically create
|
|
the config.php file. Just download it and copy it to
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%/config.php. Beware that it
|
|
will contain the database password in cleartext, so
|
|
set up whatever file permissions you deem more adequate.
|
|
For instance, user=root, group=www, mask=640.
|
|
|
|
4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php
|
|
every five minutes or so. You can do so by using wget,
|
|
links or something similar to open the web page
|
|
http://your.server.com/moodle/admin/cron.php.
|
