I'm using FreeBSD, but cannot extract moodle-1.6.1.tgz using "tar -zxf".
could some some one give me some hint...sorry this is really a naive question.....
Please tell us what error message you got when you tried the "tar" command.
i issued
# tar -zxf moodle-1.6.1tgz
it says: tar: unrecognized artchive format: inappropriate file type or format
i'm on FreeBSD v6.
thank you!
John,
Is it moodle-1.6.1tgz or moodle-1.6.1.tgz?
Also, you might try downloading the file again. I know I sometimes get a bad download if my internet connection is having issues.
You might try tar xzvf filename.tgz to see if the verbose options gives you anything else.
Alternatively, you could download the zip file and see if you can unzip it.
Hope this helps!

Thanks!
I tried both, does not work.
for tar, it still says "Unrecognized archive format..." it might be FreeBSD thing.....
What does the file commando say?
# file moodle-1.6.1.tgz
it says "moodle-1.6.1.tgz: HTML document text"
thank you!
John,
Are you right-clicking on the dowload link and trying to save the file? I don't think you are actually making it to the download. Keep left-clicking the links. The file will download automatically.

What output does the following "ls" command produce?
ls -l moodle-1.6.1.tgz
How about downloading the zip file, and upzip it using "gunzip"?
John,
Just curious as to whether or not you were able to get this going. If so, do you care to post your solution here so other's could benefit?
I hope things worked out!

John,
we had that problem yesterday with the same file.. it was our tar command that was damaged.. replaced tar was the solution.

We had the same problem and felt stupid about it 
We tried to download from the links in http://download.moodle.org/, but the download must be made from the links after selecting the version
