Hi,
You many use WAMP or XAMPP, both are almost the same. Maybe you would like to try Moodle Packages for Windows too, it's easier to apply.
1. WAMP/XAMPP+Moodle installation:
- Install WAMP or XAMPP
- Create a new empty database: http://localhost/phpMyadmin, collation: utf8_general_ci
- Unzip Moodle to www folder (WAMP), htdocs folder (XAMPP).
- Install Moodle: http://localhost/moodle/install.php, fill in the database name, username: root, password: (empty)
2. Moodle packages for windows: http://download.moodle.org/windows/
Just follow the screen instructions.
Detail installation guide: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_AMP#Windows

Which moodle do I need to download and install in WAMP? Window or XAMPP?
You're welcome!
You need the Generic Packages for WAMP.
HTH.
Usually there is a simple fix, but sometimes there is not. So start with the simplest:
In your text editor, not Notepad btw, but TextPad or Notepad++ both of which are freely downloadable, but Notepad++ is the right price, open the drive:\yourpathtomoodle\moodle\config.php file. Look for the line
$CFG->wwwroot = 'localhost';
Replace it with your network url so it reads something like:
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://192.168.1.109/moodle';
Save and close it, then try it, this should work.
If not, then there is another reason, with a different solution.
Hi Colin and all,
I installed moodle properly.
It works fine with 'LocalHost'.
But, i want to use it in LAN.
So i have made change in 'config.php'
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://192.168.1.10/sun22'; [ sun22 is my moodle]
But it can't work
It says
403 forbidden
'You don't have permission to access /sun22 on this server.
Colin,
My WAMP server can't open with IP address.
It is OK with 'Localhost'
Plz. assist.
TIA.
Ravi
