Hi there,
I have ust gone through the installation process using
Installation guide for Windows using XAMPP
and I now can access moodle via http://localhost/moodle
My question is how do I move this onto my web server/domain, so that I can access it online.
Thanks in advance
For that, a number of steps are necessary:
- You have to own a domain, like yourcompany.com or yourschool.ac.uk or whatever. If that doesn't exist yet, you have get it from the corrosponding registrar, usually by paying.
- During registration, you'll have to give the name of a domain name server. It should contain an entry assigning yourmoodleserver.yourcompany.com to a certain IP number.
- The machine with that (public) IP number will now get the requests from the webbrowsers of your users. The server may sit anywhere on the net.
- Obviously it must host your Moodle.
If this is the first time you hear all this, you need external support.
