Are you sure you going to leave the permissions at these:

sudo chmod 777 /var/moodledata
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/moodle

...and Step 4 won't work as it sits. You only have 'sudo' for the original clone. You're missing lots of additional 'sudo's or a 'chown'. --Howard Miller (talk) 22:48, 2 January 2014 (WST)


One other item that needs to be updated. In step 7 there are instructions to assign the following permissions:

         sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/moodle
         After you have ran the installer and you have moodle setup, you NEED to revert permissions so that it is no longer writable using the below command.
         sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/moodle

Because the directory has changed, these permissions should be assigned to /var/www/html/moodle
