Hi All,

I want to setup moodle quiz for 30 concurrent users.My moodle instance will only have quiz module and certification module.I have diabled all the rest of the module. I am going to use Moodle 2.6 , PHP 5.3+ , APACHE server , Mysql as the database in same machine.  I'll also use APC for caching. My server box will be Linux.(Ubuntu 12.04 or Centos 6). Can somebody tell me about the configuration of following.

1) APC configuartion

2) Apache configuration

3) Mysql configuration

4) Linux server configuration.

I already gone through all the discussion available on forums but I still need the help on this specific requirement. I also read in the moodle document that a moodle instance can server 10 to 20 concurrent user per 1 GB RAM but it depends upon server configuration. Please help me on this.

Thanks,

Vishal

Read this - Performance_recommendations

There's more than enough to give you a good start there. Your requirements are not onerous and your choice of software is sensible so most small servers will do.

Just be careful if you are purchasing a VPS service. Cheaper ones can give poor performance.

Hi Vishal

Did you mention the hardware, or its equivalent if virtualized?

You have chosen the operating system wisely. Since you are aiming at Moodle 2.6 and performance tuning, keep in mind that Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS comes with PHP 5.3 packaged. Then you have to go with APC as the PHP accelerator. Ubuntu Server 13.10 comes with PHP 5.5 which supports http://docs.moodle.org/dev/The_Moodle_Universal_Cache_%28MUC%29.

There is nothing wrong with APC, simply PHP people want to discontinue APC.
