// Site configuration variables are all stored in the CFG object.

// First, you need to configure the database where all Moodle data 
// will be stored.  This database must already have been created
// and a username/password created to access it.   See doc/INSTALL.

$CFG->dbtype    = "mysql";       // eg mysql (postgres7, oracle, access etc coming soon)
$CFG->dbhost    = "localhost";   // eg localhost 
$CFG->dbname    = "moodle";      // eg moodle
$CFG->dbuser    = "username";
$CFG->dbpass    = "password";


// Next you need to tell Moodle where it is located.
// Specify the full URL where moodle has been installed (without a trailing slash):

$CFG->wwwroot   = "http://example.com/moodle";


// and now the full OS directory path to this same location:

$CFG->dirroot   = "/web/moodle";


// Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files.  This directory 
// should be writeable by the web server user (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), 
// but it should not be accessible directly via the web.

$CFG->dataroot  = "/home/moodledata";


// Choose a sitewide language - this will affect text, buttons etc
// See lib/languages.php for a full list of standard language codes.

$CFG->lang     = "en";      // Currently the only option


// Choose a sitewide locale - this will affect the display of dates
// You need to have this locale data installed on your operating 
// system.  If you don't know what to choose try using the same 
// string as the language.

$CFG->locale     = "en";


// Give the full names of local SMTP servers that Moodle should use to
// send mail (eg "mail.a.com" or "mail.a.com;mail.b.com").
// If this is left empty (eg "") then Moodle will attempt to use PHP mail.

$CFG->smtphosts  = "";


// There is no way, currently, for PHP to automatically tell whether the 
// graphic library GD is version 1.* or 2.*.  Specify here (either 1 or 2).

$CFG->gdversion = 1;


// If students haven't logged in for a very long time, then they are 
// automatically unsubscribed from courses.  This parameter specifies
// that time limit, in DAYS.

$CFG->longtimenosee = 100;


// These programs are used by the file management code to zip and unzip 
// uploaded files.  This only works on Unix systems right now.

$CFG->zip   = "/usr/bin/zip";
$CFG->unzip = "/usr/bin/unzip";


// Files (images, uploads etc) are provided via a script which 
// is called like this example: file.php/1/myfiles/mymusic.mp3
// Using this form of argument allows files to be more easily 
// cached in web browsers, proxy servers etc, but they don't 
// work in all PHP servers.  If you have trouble viewing 
// uploaded files or images, then set the following to false

$CFG->slasharguments = true;

// If this server needs to use a proxy computer (eg a firewall)
// to access the Internet, then provide the proxy details here.
// This will only affect a few minor features such as the ability
// to see user locations plotted on a graph.
// Otherwise, leave these blank

$CFG->proxyhost = "";
$CFG->proxyport = "";


// You should not need to change anything else. To continue setting up 
// Moodle, use your web browser to go to the moodle/admin web page.
