Please bear with me as I am a new "moodler". I have recently installed a "test" version of moodle on a stand alone Linux box running Mandrake 10.0. I had a few issues with the installation, but appear to have Moodle installed ok.
My problem at this point is when I get to the moodle opening page
(http://localhost/moodle)
I cannot reach to login page via the two links on that page, nor can I reach the calendar page from that link either. Trying to use those links simply gets me the infamous "Page not found on this server" error message. However, if I type in the address bar on my browser
http://localhost/moodle/login/index.php
I can get to the login page. It appears to me that somewhere I don't have a setting/path correct so that the links know where to find those pages.
In my config.php file, my wwwroot and dirroot variables point as follows:
/var/www/html/moodle
I have tried changing that, but then I lose my ability to even get the Moodle start page to come up in my browser. Interesting that when I move my browser over the "Login" link, the message bar shows the link as
http://127.0.0.1/var/www/html/moodle/login/index.php
However if I type that into my address bar on the browser and try to get there, come up with the "page not found" message.
I sure appreciate any help from all of you, and hope that I can contribute something to the organization as I become more experienced.
Thanks,
Bill
