Off line moodle

Could you explain how this works?

I have installed a working prototype moodle on my web server.

On my laptop I have IIS server, PHP and MySQL.

I do not really understand all I should about these things so need some help.

I like the idea of a moodle on a removeable USB drive as mentioned in this forum. I need to be able to demo moodle with nothing but my laptop and a projector.

When I installed Moodle on my server I put my data outside the public-html area, can this then be on any disk drive connected to the server?

Check: I install the software for Moodle on public.html. In the install script I point to my removeable drive? Have I understood?

Your data directory can be anwhere that is reachable by your web server. So it could be on a removable memory device or on the network. To let the system know where the data is you need to modify the config.php file.

The purpose and configuration of the three components in this type of web application, the web server, the database and the moodle PHP code is not obvious. Fortunatly most of the moodle configuration sits in that one file and after some study it is not overly complex.
