Hi there,

I've installed Xampp on both Windows 7 and Mac Lion and the Standard Moodle Install without any problems. I'm not a techie - just an English teacher. It was pretty easy. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to install Moodle 2.4 on Windows 7.  I haven't written one for Mac but it's practically the same. I haven't written one for installing Xampp either - their own instructions are so easy to follow.

I did try Bitnami a few years ago but found it frustrating only to be able to upgrade to the next version when they decided. There were other frustrations too though I don't remember the details now. I am a bit of a control freak so they might not bother you.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Frankie,

I knew that in Malaysia you're several hours in advance of Europe, I didn't know you were also several Moodle versions in adavance.

A Happy New Year to you, Mary and everyone.

Hi Mohammed and welcome to Moodle,

You maybe a newbie here but you're obviously not a newbie to this type of forum. How do I know? You were savvy enough to rate Ken's reply as "Useful". Lots of us here like to be helpful - but it's nice to feel appreciated;

Sorry I can't help with your technical problems, except to ask if there's a reason you're not starting off with Moodle 2.4?

Feel you're going to be a nice guy to have around.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi there,

For people like me who'd never heard of DMCA before, this is what Wikipedia says:

"The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself. In addition, the DMCA heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet. Passed on October 12, 1998, by a unanimous vote in the United States Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998, the DMCA amended Title 17 of the United States Code to extend the reach of copyright, while limiting the liability of the providers of on-line services for copyright infringement by their users."

About as clear as mud to me - maybe some USA people could translate.

Cheers,

PS: This helps a bit: http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/responding-dmca-takedown-notice-targeting-your-content. Seems like you're guilty till proven innocent. Or maybe I haven't understood???

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for that - I'd never acutally seen Skinner before.

Not that he convinces me any more in a video than in his writings. My experience of myself and my students is that we are capable of acts of will - and that's what I base my life and my Moodle courses on.

But others are free to think differently.

Cheers,

Glenys
