I am trying to get moodle up and running on a Red Hat 9 linix machine I just set up for this purpose.
I have followed the instructions from start to step 8 a couple times but continue to get blank pages when i try and start moodle.
Can anyone help ????
My server has no domain name yet so it's running on http://131.104.90.150
I have got PHP and MYSQL set up ok - http://131.104.90.150/php.php
and below is a look at my config.php file (user/pass I removed).
Any ideas as to why I am getting blank pages????
//=========================================================================
// 1. DATABASE SETUP
//=========================================================================
// First, you need to configure the database where all Moodle data //
// will be stored. This database must already have been created //
// and a username/password created to access it. //
// //
// mysql - the prefix is optional, but useful when installing //
// into databases that already contain tables. //
//
// postgres7 - the prefix is REQUIRED, regardless of whether the //
// database already contains tables. //
$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)
$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com
$CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; // database name, eg moodle
$CFG->dbuser = '####'; // your database username
$CFG->dbpass = '####'; // your database password
$CFG->dbpersist = true; // Use persistent database connection?
// (should be 'true' for 99% of sites)
$CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // Prefix to use for all table names
//=========================================================================
// 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
//=========================================================================
// Now you need to tell Moodle where it is located. Specify the full
// web address to where moodle has been installed. If your web site
// is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one
// that your students would use. Do not include a trailing slash.
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://131.104.90.150/moodle';
//=========================================================================
// 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
//=========================================================================
// Next, specify the full OS directory path to this same location
// Make sure the upper/lower case is correct. Some examples:
//
// $CFG->dirroot = 'C:\FoxServ\www\moodle'; // Windows
// $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Redhat Linux
$CFG->dirroot = '/www/html/moodle';
//=========================================================================
// 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
//=========================================================================
// Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This
// directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user
// (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible
// directly via the web.
//
// - On hosting systems you might need to make sure that your "group" has
// no permissions at all, but that "others" have full permissions.
//
// - On Windows systems you might specify something like 'C:\moodledata'
$CFG->dataroot = '/www/uploads';
//=========================================================================
// 5. DATA FILES PERMISSIONS
//=========================================================================
// The following parameter sets the permissions of new directories
// created by Moodle within the data directory. The format is in
// octal format (as used by the Unix utility chmod, for example).
// The default is usually OK, but you may want to change it to 0750
// if you are concerned about world-access to the files (you will need
// to make sure the web server process (eg Apache) can access the files.
// NOTE: the prefixed 0 is important, and don't use quotes.
$CFG->directorypermissions = 0777;
