Andrew - I found http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10 to be pretty easy to follow for setting up the server. To keep it really simple, you can use the synaptec package manager to install the Moodle. Peace - Anthony

Anyone had any success with installing moodle on Ubuntu server 7.10?
I am like Anthony looking for step by step instruction.
The above link has only information on how to install ubuntu server and not moodle.

Thanks

Hi, Sam.
I have experience with debian (etch) and ubuntu server (6.06 and 7.10).
In my opinion, ubuntu 7.10 is a good option. I had several problems with the ldap server on ubuntu server 6.06
Now, with ubuntu server 7.10 all (apache2, mysql 5, php5, ldap...) is fine

Bye

I have LOTs of experience of running Moodle on Ubuntu. It works really well, but you do have to install quite a few extra packages to get a working system.

At the risk of committing a "RTFM" have you typed "Installing Moodle on Ubuntu" into Google. There's lots of step by step guides.

How about....

http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfvj9xq4_5d5chm2

looks like a possibility.

Next time I do it from scratch (which should be soon). I'll write it all down and put something in the docs. In the mean time, if you have any specific questions or problems, don't hesitate to ask.

I am probably opening a dead thread but IMHO this is the best documentation for installing on ubuntu gutsy. Worked flawlessly, for a moodle 1.8.4+ installation

Hi,
I followed the instructions and setup moodle on ubuntu 7.10 successfully. I run the moodle setup successfully but when i transferred the server computer to the real site moodle kept crashing every time I tried to login from a workstation. The server gets a fixed IP address from an IPcop computer and I donot know if this is the cause of the crash. Help
thanks

BO,

How did you transfer the Moodle site to the "real" server site? Did you physically move the computer itself to the network containing the IPcop firewall computer? If so, did you adjust config.php and database (db)? How? Or did you copy the Moodle file structure and db to the "real" site computer? Same questions about config.php and db. In particular, in config.php, what does the line say that begins $CFG->wwwroot? What about httpd.conf?
