| == Simple Moodle server test build using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ==
| | #redirect [[Step-by-step Installation Guide for Ubuntu]] |
| | |
| [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu 6.06] is a good tradeoff between up-to-date and stable. | |
| | |
| LTS because of Ubuntu committing to five years of Long Term Support on this version.
| |
| | |
| For this test server, I’m using a desktop with normal components. (Dell Optiplex)
| |
| | |
| === Need: ===
| |
| | |
| *[http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#lts Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server CD]
| |
| *x86 desktop computer, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and firewalled internet connection
| |
| *One hour of time. (seriously!)
| |
| | |
| === Directions: ===
| |
| | |

| |
| #Select Install to hard drive.
| |

| #Select autodetect network, if you have DHCP. Should be made a static IP in a development or production environment.
| |
| #Enter your servername (i.e. moodletest)
| |
| #Select to manually edit the partition table. I’m doing my testing on a standard 40GB harddrive and will modify these sizes in production.
