Surely it would create a valid market for microsoft phones with android on them - they would no longer be windows phones. If we want to go completely left field I would say that this is possibly the first steps into create a microsft branded version of Linux.

In one the articles I read the words 'windows as a service' appeared. So my guess will be they give it away for free to get people onboard as others above have suggested. Then they bundle the windows license in with Office 365. they way it could still be 'free' just so long as you pay for it.

cool so you've confirmed that you've got a database with stuff in it you know the name of the database you know that your database username and password work fine so that points to a typo in your config.php file

ok now do use moodle; show tables; select count(*) from mdl_user; this is to check that the database actually has stuff in it

ok next step from there is to enter show databases; this will show you the databases available on the server so you check your moodle one is there and what it's called

no $CFG->wwwroot is url of your moodle and will look like; $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://moodle.midkent.ac.uk'; // url of your moodle $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle27/'; // directory on the server that your moodle sits in the database section of the config looks like the below $CFG->dbtype = 'mysqli'; // 'pgsql', 'mariadb', 'mysqli', 'mssql', 'sqlsrv' or 'oci' $CFG->dblibrary = 'native'; // 'native' only at the moment $CFG->dbhost = '127.0.0.1'; // eg 'localhost' or 'db.isp.com' or IP $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; // database name, eg moodle $CFG->dbuser = 'root'; // your database username $CFG->dbpass = 'supersecret password!'; // your database password $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // prefix to use for all table names

check the database settings in config.php you might need to change the database server to 127.0.0.1 to get it to read from the local machine.

I think you've answered your own question - keep it up to date. Any CMS system will be a nice target for hacking if it's not kept up to date. Additional things you can do are: Sign up for the security mailing lists for Joomla and Moodle make sure you check your sites when major security flaws are announced We have our Ubuntu servers set to auto update for security patches Install logwatch - this will send you an email daily with a breakdown of what's happening on the server so you can spot anything dodgy Backup lots so if there is an issue you can roll if you're very paranoid consider how smaller a footprint a virtual ubuntu server is and have one for moodle and one for joomla

you need check your dns and IP config to start with then you need to start looking in the error logs and seeing what's happening. This depends on how your apache is set and if you have vhosts but to start with 'tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log' should start to point you in the right direction.

We use a virtual ubuntu server with EHCP (Easy Hosting Control Panel | for Ubuntu and alikes...- Free Fast Opensource web hosting control panel for your server **) installed. This makes it easy for tutors to set up a web space for students with sftp, php and mysql database. It comes with phpmyadmin for interacting with the mysql part. And it only requires port 80 to be opened up, best to put it in a dmz if possible though.

Maybe ask him to reformat the drive as either ntfs or fat32. Either of those two formats will be perfectly readable and usable by Linux. You shouldn't be having to install things to work with his weird operating system - and I say that as a very ardent linux fan boy.

just boot of a linux live cd and that will let you mount and read them and also attach tot he network and move the content anywhere you need to

You can theme it anyway you want to. So you can pick themes, settings, modules etc that fit your use case.

We moved from Blackboard years ago so we've saved the money we would have spent on that. You could just stop there, save the money, install a basic moodle and keep it ticking along. Instead we took that money now employ a moodle admin/developer who has been building a ton of other systems around reporting, absence reporting, Personal Learning plans, employability and system integration.

There's little point asking a question if you're not to going to listen to the answer Unprofessional conduct by her all the same.

Maybe the issues are related to Google deliberately serving up manky version of their search to older browsers BBC News - Google 'discourages' users of old browsers

Hi Nathan did you pose this question because of data protection concerns? If so I suggest reading up on 'Safe Harbour'

don't know about win 8 but looks like you might be in luck with 7 iTALC - OpenSource classroom management / Discussion / Open Discussion:iTALC 2.0.1 Windows 7 demo mode freeze

Try this: iTALC

why do those rules have to be restricted to Japan? They sound like a damm good idea for anywhere.

Have you added the moodle domain in the intranet zone in IE via GPO? Chrome will read the IE settings

shift apache to a different server- it will be much easier to manage in the long run

Lbakewell: what things are you missing? We use moodle and it seems to tick all our boxes.

This isn't just about staff with in the government. It's about all us taxpayers. They won't be sending out documents that can only be edited with MS office, they will work in any word processor, cloud based or otherwise. So everyone saves and is given freedom of choice.
