Moodle networking (MNet)

openSSL is a php extension and needs to be enabled in your webserver. check your admin->server->phpinfo page for it.

I'm not familiar with appserv, but it seems that it used to not have SSL support. Here is a thread where people seem to have gotten it working. Not sure if that's for the current version or an older one.

I use XAMPP web server but I think it will be the same setting and my noodle is accessible now from everywhere in my school. He!He! Here is my TIPs:

1) Find php.ini and uncomment the line
;extension=php_curl.dll ---> extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_openssl.dll ---> extension=php_openssl.dll

2) Make sure
extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mssql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

3) Add 2 more lines just before this:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

extension=msql.dll
extension=msql.so

4) Sometimes and works restart/log off your computer and start your web server

5)Login as administrator to your moodle site and go to Site Administration menu configure your networking:
a) networking "ON"
b) select Register all hosts (Hub mode)
c) SSO Access Control: add all users and select allow

That is quite long but I would really like to share this to reduce your pain.

Cheers!
