Installing and upgrading help

Hi Mike,

Does your Wordpress site run at a URL like one of these?

• http://localhost
• Or http://localhost/wordpress

You could simply drop Moodle in as a sub-directory of one of those, so Moodle URL might be like:

• http://localhost/moodle
• OR http://localhost/moodle/wordpress

Alternatively, you could set a new vhost configuration in your WAMP Apache configuration. This resource seems to offer guidance: https://john-dugan.com/wamp-vhost-setup/

By setting up a separate vhost, your Moodle site could then run at a local test domain of your choosing:

• http://moodle.localhost
• OR http://moodle.local
• etc, whatever you choose. The instructions in the link above talk about adding a hosts override so that whatever vhost domain you choose, your computer will "know" to point to localhost for that domain, otherwise it won't know about a made-up domain name.

Once you have decided on whether you want to use a new vhost or just a sub-directory of wordpress, you would go through the standard Moodle setup:

• create separate database for Moodle in WAMP
• Set up config.php
  • be sure to set wwwroot to reflect your subdirectory or vhost domain

I think that Wordpress will still work ok with Moodle as a sub-directory/folder inside of it. This may be easier than going through the process of adding a new custom vhost in WAMP.
