Downloading moodle to a LAMP server

[Jenko22]

I am currently setting up a Ubuntu LAMP server to run moodle, Ubuntu is now installed and working and I see the apache test page if I browse to the IP of the server.

However I’m having trouble downloading moodle I’m trying

 

sudo wget [url]http://download.moodle.org/stable18/moodle-latest-18.tgz[/url]

 

I edited /etc/resolv.conf and added my dns servers when I try wget it seems to resolve the address then I get the following

connecting to download.moodle.org¦70.84.5.50¦:80     Connection timed out

 

We run a proxy server so it should be 8080 but I’m not sure how to change that. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

At a commandline type:

 

export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport

The Ip its resolving is correct, and the server is up.

 

Its not using your proxy server and i think thats the problem.

 

Try setting the proxy variable:

type:

sudo export http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"

 

where proxy.example.com is your proxy's FQDN, or IP address

 

Then...

sudo wget http://download.moodle.org/stable18/moodle-latest-18.tgz –proxy=on

 

 

Good luck!

Excellent thanks for the quick response

 

Thought it was set during the install but it must not of picked it up.

I posted how to setup proxies for a Linux command line environment previously.
