Does any body run Moodle BSD ports?
Any comments about performance?
Regards,
Kiril Ilarionov
We have Moodle 9/WebWork running under FreeBSD 7 on a Dell PowerEdge R300 with SAS disks, 4GB memory, and quad core CPU.
Moodle 9 installed easily, so the FreeBSD Moodle port was not necessary. We have a few thousand users, and seen 50+ online simultaneously with great performance.
WebWork can add considerable load to a Moodle server. We tried Moodle/WebWork under OSX/XServer and realized unreasonably high system load (20+). Moodle works very well under OSX without WebWork. Also tried Moodle under LAMP with SATA disks, but had problems at higher system loads.

Sorry, the above should be Moodle 1.9.
I also am runniing moodle 1.9.3 on FreeBSD 7.1-Pre Release a test machine intel dual core 1 gig RAM and 500GB HD.
This is a pre production install, so a lot of playing and building.
with 10 concurrent users on a 100MB LAN performance is brilliant.
The anticipation is to move the Mysql database to a seperate machine and let moodle have it's own space.
I have to also consider additional expansion for resourse, nfs seems the way to go here.
I would be interested in hearing about getting video and or VOIP going.

Yes, FreeBSD 7 kernel has an excellent performance.
The FreeBSD port:
- installs a bundle of related software;
- is easy about a mainthenance of the above bundle.
Moodle 1.9.3 has a FreeBSD port.
Is there an experiance about balancing of a related software bundle?

My solution to running the admin cron job.
Change paths to reflect you install.
Shell script
-------------
#! bin/sh
chdir /usr/local/www/moodle/admin
/usr/local/bin/php cron.php
----------------------------------
Use chdir as cd does not expand.
The crontab
*/15 * * * * sh /path/to/yourscript
--------------
Change the 15 to whatever time you want this one fires every 15 minutes.
