I have linux with apache 2, moodle 1.5.2 and postgresql DB.
If you have this same configuration I would like to know
how your install went and what kind of problems you had?
Thanks.

You have a permissions problem. You need to issue the correct GRANT statement to mysql

Something like GRANT ALL on dbname to admin@localhost

or similar. maybe with quotes somewhere.

I think most people are running moodle on Linux.

If you're running Debian Sarge or later, you can just do

apt-get install moodle

Hi Penny,
I have a derivative of Sarge, Ubuntu. I would like to solve this
problem before I do that. I'm getting closer!
I have some more testing to do and ask some more question.
Thanks for your help.

P.S. I just taught myself PHP.

There's definitely a moodle package for ubuntu. What package manager are you using?

Just do a search for moodle and you should be able to install it from the package.

If you want to play with it and change the code and such, it's probably not such a good idea to use the debian/ubuntu package, as an upgrade could clobber your changes.

Debian Sarge's Moodle package is 1.4.4.

Hi Teemu!

Martin L and I are hoping to help Isaac out with the moodle packaging, he's talking about setting up an alioth project for it. Presumably part of that would be updating to 1.5

I haven't tried that Debian package even I have been Debian server adminstrator for three years. I always install modified Moodle wink.

When you install that package, can you choose which database program you want you use?

What language you use when you make that package?
