Moodle Installation
Are you planning an installation of Moodle? Installing it on Mac OS X Server?
In the following videos, I detail my installation of Moodle on Tiger Server. I prepared this for internal documentation, but it may be of interest to others out there. Be sure to comment if you found these helpful.
- Moodle Part 1 (Preparing Server)
- Moodle Part 2 (Checking PHP and MySQL settings)
- Moodle Part 3 (Setting up MySQL Database and Users)
- Moodle Part 4 (Setting up Schema for Moodle; Installing Moodle)
- Moodle Part 5 (Database Backup + Completion)
After the process seen in the videos, you can upload users into the system and get started with tweaking settings. I set the front page to just be the login screen, and uploaded our teachers through a spreadsheet.
One correction I’d like to make in the video: the sock location for PHP and MySQL did not match, despite my saying, eventually, it did in the video. After re-booting the server, I saw my error. I reset the location chosen by MySQL in my php.ini file.
