Installing and upgrading help

Daniel - you need to prep your server of course, with mysql, apache,

and all the right php libraries.  here are the combinations of yum commands i did on the basic amazon linux instance -

3 yum install mysql mysql-server httpd php php-gd php-xmlrpc
5 yum install php-mysql php-dom php-intl php-mbstring
16 yum update
81 yum install php-soap
150 yum install telnet
154 yum search httpd | grep ssl
155 yum search httpd
163 yum search ssl
164 yum install openssl
165 yum install mod_nss
171 yum search ssl
172 yum install mod_ssl
179 history | grep yum >

You should have the install page, and make sure you read it, but the cheat sheet notes are for a ec2 instance - 

/etc/init.d/httpd start

/etc/init.d/mysql start

## then do the safe install (you'll see it in the text)

download and copy the moodle tree into /var/www or /var/www/html

do a 

chown -R apache /var/www/html/moodle

run your mysql database commands (3) from the install guide

create your data directory - 

mkdir -p /data/moodle 

chown apache /data/moodle 

## this is where the datafiles, course files, sessions, get stored

Do the install, setting the proper paths,  once the install is done, do a

chown -R root /var/www/html/moodle 

make a database name is moodle ==> change its in utf8 format or run this query in my sql 

create database moodle default character set utf8;

and the try it will done
