Hey all,
First, pls fogive my noobishness, this is my first attempt of installing moodle.
I have scoured the docs and forum but it's making my head hurt and I can't find the help I need.
I'm having a lil' trouble installing moodle & PHP on Windows Server 2008R2 (x64)... I /may/ have got past the PHP stage but want to double check if I've done things right...
So I followed the link to the instructions "Installing Moodle on Windows Server 2008 R2" - however they seem out of date for the PHP side.
So /please/ tell me if I have done this correct or wrong...
Page 6.1 The PHP download does not exist. I downloaded the 5.3.5 x64 PHP zip elsewhere... BUT then...
Page 6.2 php.ini-recommended does not exist. So I used php.ini-production instead. BUT then...
Page 7.8 c:\php\php5isapi.dll does not exist! ... after a lil' googling I found that it is no longer used...
Sooooo.... I intsalled CGI component of IIS7 and then made both the FastCGI Module Map AND Script Map point to c:\php\php-cgi.exe and my <?php phpinfo();?> appears to be working... But I have no idea if this is acutally right or if it's just going to byte me in the butt later on.
AND I have no idea what to set the value of open_basedir to in the php.ini file.
Can anyone please offer me some advice or at least link me to a current php + moodle installation guide for Windows Server 2008 R2.
Much appreciated.
Johnny
