Yes, your Moodle site is set, at least http://lst.servy.net/moodle takes one to a Moodle login screen.

If your adminstrators have done their job, your don't need "stuff like upload the whole compressed folder to the webserver documents directory ". It is a RedHat-Linux server running Apache 2.0.46, chances are good that it is set properly wink

According to the message there, the teachers can login and immediately create their courses. Quote "For new trainee teachers, use your NRIC in uppercase (eg. S1234567A) as username and password to logon initially."

A starting point would be http://moodle.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=3864 I'm sure there are more comprehensive documents around.

Also it is useful to take part in some sort of demo course to get a feeling what Moodle offers.

Hey Visvanath

Thank you very much for helping me out. I managed to figure out that out after creating a course and then it was really easy!

Once again thank you!
