Firstly, I'm replacing all use of old-style global variables like $HTTY_REFERER with their new-style equivalent $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] Also using $_POST instead $HTTP_POST_VARS etc Secondly, if gdversion == 0 (ie GD is not installed) then: - users are not even allowed to upload new images - graphs now just print a message instead of failing. this allows Moodle to still be used even if GD is not present
README $Id$ ------ If you are installing the first time, then you should read the installation guide which is stored in the doc subdirectory: doc/install.html You can also access the latest version (as well complete information about upgrading and using Moodle on the moodle.com web site: http://moodle.com/doc/ Once Moodle is installed on your machine, then you can also access a local copy of all this documentation (localised to your language) at: http://yourmoodlesite.com/doc/ For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create an empty directory somewhere to store uploaded files (NOT accessible via the web). This directory must be writeable by the web server process. 3) Create a single database for Moodle to store all it's tables in (or choose an existing database). 4) Copy the file config-dist.php to config.php, and edit it with all your own settings. 5) Visit your new home page with a web browser. Moodle will lead you through the rest of the setup, creating an admin account and so on. 6) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. Cheers! Martin Dougiamas
