Windows server: Windows Server 2008R2 with MySQL Help

Hi,

 

I'm having problems at the end of the installation of the moodle package and wanted to know if anyone could tell me if i'm missing something. I've followed this guide here :

http://www.bfcnetworks.com/install-moodle-2-on-windows-server-2008-r2-php-iis-mysql/

 

I'm currently using the following for this guide

mysql 5.5.22 winx64

php 5.3.10 win 32 non thread safe vc9

moddle latest 22.zip

 

When i reach step 6 of the guide in the configuring moodle area I just don't get what is implied by Select the content of the page and copy it into your click board. If I select view source or just select all and copy either way I still don't get the correct information to add to my config.php as displayed by the image attached in step 6. anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it?

 

Thanks

"click board"! LOL! I think Alex meant "clipboard". That's probably an error...

There's no need to copy anything to the clipboard. Instead make a copy of the config-dist.php file and then rename it to config.php. Then open it in a text editor and read through the file. You need to enter your server and evironment details in the various "$CFG->" fields like "$CFG->wwwroot" and "$CFG->dataroot".

Then save the file and go to your Moodle url via the browser (example http://yoursite.com - or http://localhost/moodle if it's on your own computer and not on a server) . The Moodle installer should detect the new installation and start the setup.

Alternatively, you can skip that step 6 in the guide where it tells you to create the config.php file. If that file doesn't exist when you first run Moodle the Moodle installer will create it for you.

After several attempts at this I just gave up and started a clean linux installation which I've done before. Thanks for the information anyway, I will try on a closed envirenment later on this week.

Cheers,

J.B.
