Run Moodle locally for presentation and testing?

Run Moodle locally for presentation and testing?

Hi again.

I was also wondering if running Moodle locally on my Powerbook may be worthwhile for both my upcoming presentation and before officially using it for courses. It's not too difficult to get Apache, PHP, and a database up running "at home," is it?

Thanks.

No it isn't hard to install AMP (Apache, Mysql, php).

Maybe I'll give it a shot. Hosting on one's own computer has advantages. Is it hard to transfer Moodle and its database to another server later?

Thanks.

You can use the regular backupstrategies for that (backup data and Mysql, restore data and Mysql, load a new Moodlecopy, edit config.php and surf to moodle/admin) or, if it's just forn a few courses, use the backup function in the course and move the zipped backupfile (1 for each couse) to your new server and restore.

Method 1 and method 2 shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to 20 minutes depending on bandwidth and number of courses.

It's extremely easy to get Apache/LySQL and PHP + Moodle on a laptop. I have it on clapped out PIII 750Mhz with 192 RAM and Win98. Go to:

http://moodle.org/doc/?frame=install.html

I did it in less than an hour. I am by no means an expert

Cheers

Rick
