Hi I'm having problems getting moodle up and running on Ubuntu. I've been following this guide: http://www.schoolforge.org.uk/index.php/Installing_Moodle_on_an_Ubuntu_workstation
Took me ages to even get Apache working but finally it worked. Now after installing Moodle from the synaptic package manager I get a downloading dialog box appear for a php script when I go to localhost.
Anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
Alex

Ubuntu recommendation:
I was using SuSe last year and moved to Ubuntu. At first I just installed Ubuntu (workstation version) and then install apache, php, etc. However, that is the slowest and worst way to do it. So if you can scrap your install and do it this way it will work perfectly.
_________________________________________________________
First download the Ubuntu Server ISO and burn it as an ISO.
The Server has a minimal gui but it is mostly command line at first. You don't have to do anything but read the screen and press Y or N.
Eventually in the install you will be asked if you want to install LAMP -- apache- Mysql - PHP . Select yes.
This will setup everything at once.
When the server is done. You can add the gnome GUI by simply going to the command line and typing*
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Obviously you need to be online during this whole process.
Once it is all done it will look and feel like the workstation version but will be a sweet running server under the hood.
Maybe this isn't helpful but I find a good foundation is worth the hassel.
