I've already installed Moodle 2.2.1 using XAMPP, but I would like to have a second Moodle in my computer, if that's possible. I guess I need to create a new database... I've tried creating a new database, with a new user but same host. But it isn't working. I don't know what I need to do. Perhaps someone can give me some guidance.
Hi Sara,
Yes, you can have more than one Moodle installation. You only need to:
1. Use a different Moodle installation folder (e.g. moodle2). To do this:
a) Unpack your moodle package file into a temporary folder.
b) Rename the "moodle" folder as "moodle2".
c) And then move this moodle2 folder to your document root directory (like htdocs/moodle2).
2. Use a differente Moodle data folder (e.g. moodledata2).
3. Use a different Moodle database (e.g. moodledb2).
4. Start the installation process by going to http://localhost/moodle2 in your browser.
Cheers!
