Hello,
I am trying to install moodle 1.6Beta on a Fedora 5 machine and I am getting this message:
The 'Web Address' does not appear to be valid - this Moodle
installation doesn't appear to be there. The value below has been reset.
Any Ideas?
Thanks for any help.
Rocco,
Are you using the XAMPP installation? If so I had a similar problem, but on a Windows 2003 box. It would not recognize my DNS name for the web address.

Try using your local ip address as the web address instead of "localhost.localdomain"..
type the command ifconfig at the command line window and look for a line beside "eth0" that reads something like "inet addr:***.***.***.***" use this address as your web address.
Also make certain you have your web server and mysql server started before trying to go much further (apologies if this seems obvious...)
You may want to check out http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html to make sure your server is good to go before beginning the Moodle install. Even if you've got the basics working this is a great resource for your Fedora box.
Happy Moodling!

I was having the same issue. I edited the /etc/hosts file to include the vhost that I created for the moodle website.
EX:
192.168.1.13 moodle.domain.com moodle
All is working fine now.
Jeff:
Did you ever figure out a fix for this problem? I am still having it.

I had similar problems on a testing server, never figured out why, but I DID figure out that creating a config.php directly is easy to do. (It's what the screen in question is trying to do.)
So, to do it manually go to your root moodle directory, find config-dist.php and save a copy as config.php. Now simply open the file and replace the 'generic' settings with settings for your web server, file structure, and database. Then restart your browser and try again and it'll skip right past that step and move on.
Hope it helps.

If SELinux is enabled default policy could be a problem as the outgoing connections are not allowed. To enable outgoing connections under SELinux try:
/usr/sbin/setsebool httpd_can_network_connect=1
To make the change permanent add the -P option:
/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1
