How to install 1.0.8.1?

I noticed that when I downloaded 1.0.8.1 it did not have all the files. Is it an upgrade or did you forget to upload all the files in it. Also, if 1.0.8 works fine, is it necessary to upgrade. (Sorry if this is not the right forum)

gz file that seems corrupted. It decompresses into one big single file!

Yes, this is how it's meant to be. The gz file is a compressed tar file.

.tgz is an abbreviation for .tar.gz

This is how you can uncompress the .tgz file in one step using Unix shell:

tar xvzf moodle-1.0.8.1.tgz

and it will all be unpacked into a "moodle" subdirectory.

Greetings:

You might try winrar instead of winzip. It handles extentions like tar gz bz2 etc much better and it's free.

On a windows machine, if you do use winrar to decompress the moodle bundle you'll get a file with no extention, rename the file with the same name but with the extention .tar and then run winrar on that one and it will decompress fine.

Typically with winrar renaming is not necessary, this is something new to me (must be the gz instead of bz2), but it works.

Yes, WinRAR is good. Otherwise just use the zip download. smile

On Mac OS X, Stuffit Expander handles the whole unpacking of tar and gz quite seamlessly and you should be left with a "moodle" folder.
