secretlife Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Question please for all you network managers and Moodle experts: How easy would it be for someone competent in ICT and the ftp process to install a Moodle? I run several websites, have installed wordpress blogs and 'Singapore' opensource galleries myself - and have upgraded them - no issues there -but the only Moodles I have dealt with have been either done for me by my webhosts or pre-installed by CLEO. Iwant to install a Moodle 1.9 in a subdirectory of one of my sites so I can be prepared for when CLEO upgrade our school one which I am admin in. I want to do it myself because....well, I want to know how to do it myself! It says on moodle dot org it can be done in minutes and I have briefly glanced at the bullet points - seems manageable - will I be able to do it? Thanks
mighty.grey.eagle Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Why not install one of the XAMPP Windows packages? 15 minutes and everything is up and running. I have it running on my laptop to investigate new features without having to compromise a live system.
beeswax Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 mighty.grey.eagle's idea is probably the best if you want to mess about, but just as a side note, I did a full install of Moodle 1.9 this morning, with lots of interruptions, but at a rough guess it took me a lot less than an hour.
secretlife Posted March 6, 2008 Author Posted March 6, 2008 Ok will give it a go - I prefer to do it online as I've plenty of spare space knocking around and it is more authentic then.
