Hi all,
Has anyone out there managed to have moodle installed with knoppix (LIVECD). This LiveCD could then be installed onto hd for ease of installation.
Hi Shahi,
at the moment I know 2 german Moodle LIVECD's ( knoppix with moodle ).
You can find there at www.moodleschule.de ( LAMPIXX with Moodle, only 210 MB ) or www.moodlixx.de ( my own CD, Knoppix with Moodle 550 MB ). My latest version, KNOPPIX 3.9 and Moodle 1.5 ist only available in german at the moment. Sorry but my english version is out of date, only with Moodle 1.3. I hope, I can make a new version until end June.

Hi André,
I am not able to download a livecd either from
www.moodleschule.de or www.moodlixx.de.
The reason I want to go this way is all the setup for moodle is very confusing. Initially, I installed moodle on an XP Pro machine, when I pointed the browser to the localhost machine with moodle on it came back with an error (script error message, variable not found in line xxx). So I installed Fedroa Core 3, then installed Apache and tested it, MySql and tested it and finally php and tested it, maybe not in that order. Now when I browse to the server using http://victor/moodle/admin I get an error message stating the the database can't be opened.
I have install PhpMyAdmin and when I try to browse http://phpmyadmin it come back with an error message that I don't have the correct credentials (not exact error message). After looking through most of the forum I figured because I was using Fedora Core 3 that SELinux was enabled, after seenforce=0 I still get the same message.
I am trying to get the damn thing up and running for test purposes only so I can demonstrate it to my HOF and hence was wondering whether anyone has incoperated it into knoppix (just place cd in machine and go).
Any help on the Fedora would be much appreciated.
I know my issue is to do with MySql and rights, at the moment I am confused with all the setting and unsetting all the configuration files.
I am willing to re-install FC3 if that helps and start again, but I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through this.
Sorry, but I cann't help you with FC3. In this forum, you can find many threads about Fedora, for example http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=21526.
When you will try ist with knoppix, use apt-get as Martin already wrote.
Hi Shahi,
I have managed to install Moodle on FC3. On 2 machines. So maybe I can help you here.
I might be off tangent here but URLs you are using seem little strange. e.g.
http://victor/moodle/admin
Is victor the Fully qualified domain name? If not, try using it such as victor. com
Same comment for http://phpmyadmin
Typically it should be http://localhost/<directory-name-of-phpmyadmin>
Please tell me the exact error messages you are getting.
I have a slightly more detailed wiki on my site http://opendest.com/moodle
Check the course "moodle" under opensource and the wiki in there.
HTH,
Ravi

Hi
Thanks for your posting. I am afraid that the guest access to the course is restricted. I am not able to enter into. Please do the needful.

sorry, I have changed the settings to enable guests. Please try now.
I will be running the course over next 3 months and my aim is to bootstrap myself and few other students into contributing to moodle. You are welcome to join.

I also didn't get FC3 to work properly with apache, MySQL and PHP (due to my lack of Linux knowledge) So I installed a XAMPP on this FC3 machine and that worked in no time (since they enable about everything in their distribution...)
If you've installed Knoppix (any version)or MEPIS to your HD, then you can just do "apt-get install moodle". You need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list so it can download and install software from the Debian repositores.
Ubuntu is right now one of my favourites for LiveCD and for installable Linux.
