Moodle is an open source project which is basically a Content Management System (CMS).
- You have to download moodle latest version from the moodle website. http://download.moodle.org/. (Remember when you download ,it will have many versions.But always try to use a stable version of it.For instance don't use "moodle-version+" .Because they are updating weekly.Normally for latest versions ,you need to have PHP 4.3.0, MySQL 4.1.16 or Postgres 8.0 or MSSQL 9.0 or Oracle 9.0)
- Install wamp server version 2.0 or later and create a database with the name "moodle" http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle
- Above user guide lines won't enough .Some problems may occur.So you have to explicitly rename the config---.php file in to config.php which is there in your downloaded .zip file and make the following changes in the config.php file.
- Suppose you have installed wamp server(or any compatible server as mentioned above) at C:\wamp\
- $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)
- $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com
- $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; // database name, eg moodle
- $CFG->dbuser = 'root'; // your database username
- $CFG->dbpass = ''; // your database password
- $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_';
- $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle' //your root folder
- $CFG->dirroot = 'C:\wamp\www\moodle' // your working directory (if you really work with )
- $CFG->dataroot = 'E:\wamp\www\moodledata' // directory where moodle keeps your custom data
Then go to local host from your browser and you only have to do some clicks of next,next,next...And enjoy moodle. A pretty useful CMS.
