| QUICK INSTALL | ||
| ============= | ||
|
|
||
| For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the | ||
| installation process, which normally takes me only | ||
| a few minutes: | ||
|
|
||
| 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. | ||
|
|
||
| 2) Create an empty directory somewhere to store | ||
| uploaded files (NOT accessible via the web). | ||
| This directory must be writeable by the web server | ||
| process. | ||

| 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all | ||
| it's tables in (or choose an existing database). | ||
|
|
||
| 4) Copy the file config-dist.php to config.php, and | ||
| edit it with all your own settings. | ||
|
|
||
| 5) Visit your new home page with a web browser. Moodle | ||
| will lead you through the rest of the setup, | ||
| creating an admin account and so on. | ||
| 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should | ||
| be taken to the install.php script, which will lead | ||
| you through creating a config.php file and then | ||
| setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. | ||
|
|
||
| 6) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php | ||
| 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php | ||
| every five minutes or so. | ||
