README $Id$
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
If you are installing the first time, then you
|
|
should read the installation guide which is
|
|
part of the Moodle documentation (along with
|
|
information about upgrading etc):
|
|
|
|
http://moodle.com/doc/
|
|
|
|
There is a copy of all this documentation as part of
|
|
this Moodle distribution. You can access your local
|
|
copy of the installation guide here:
|
|
|
|
lang/en/docs/install.html
|
|
|
|
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!
