Um auf einem Windows-Rechner zu laufen, benötigt Moodle als Laufzeitumgebung einen Webserver, PHP und eine Installation einer der von Moodle unterstützten Datenbanken. Zum Aufsetzen dieser Laufumgebung gibt es vorgefertigte Pakete wie z.B. XAMPP oder EasyPHP die alle erforderlichen Komponenten bequem innerhalb einer Windowsanwendung installieren.

Hinweis: Eine Installation mit EasyPHP ist nicht für den produktiven Servereinsatz konzipiert.

Vorbereitende Arbeiten

1. Wenn Sie schon MySQL auf Ihrem Rechner installiert haben, müssen Sie vor der Installation des EasyPHP Pakets diese MySQL Installation deinstallieren. Bitte überprüfen Sie, dass die Dateien c:\my.cnf und c:\windows\my.ini auf Ihrem Rechner gelöscht sind. Um sicher zu gehen, dass diese Dateien auf Ihrem Rechner wirklich nicht existieren, müssen Sie gegebenenfalls einen Suchlauf nach diesen Dateien my.cnf und my.ini auf Ihrem Rechner ausführen und diese dann löschen.
2. Wenn Sie auf Ihrem Rechner PHP schon installiert ist, so deinstallieren Sie dieses. Insbesondere die Dateien php4ts.dll und php.ini, gewöhnlich im Windows Verzeichnis zu finden, sind zu löschen.

EasyPHP herunterladen

1. Laden Sie sich die aktuelle Version von EasyPHP herunter: EasyPHP

EasyPHP installieren

1. Run the downloaded file: easyphp1-7_setup.exe. The installation process is in French but is much like installing any other Windows program - I advise accepting the defaults and letting it all install. Note: that "Suivant" means Next and "Oui" means Yes.
2. At the end of the install leave the checkbox selected to "Lancer EasyPHP" (Start EasyPHP) and hit the "Terminer" button. You might be taken to a information web page which you can safely ignore.
3. If all went well - congratulations! Apache, PHP and MySQL are all installed and running! You should see a black E in your toolbar tray. You can right click on it to get a menu which will let you control the running programs, but you won't be needing that for now.
4. Some things may be in French and you may prefer English. You can download this file http://www.easyphp.org/telechargements/dn.php?F=indexUS_1.7 which contains English versions of www and home folder in the EasyPHP1-7 folder. These can be copied over the default files.

Datenbank anlegen

1. The next thing you need to do is to set up a database for Moodle to use. Right-click the black E in the toolbar tray and choose Administration, then click DB Management (beside PHPMyAdmin). Alternatively, using a browser, go to http://localhost/mysql/ (note the final slash).
2. If asked for a username, use "root" with a blank password. You should see a phpMyAdmin web interface that allows you to create a new databases and user accounts.
3. Create a new database by typing "moodle" into the field and hitting the "Create" button and don't forget to specify a utf-8 collation for the database being created. That was easy!
4. You can also create a new user to access your database if you want. This can be a bit tricky for a first-time user, so you might just want to use the existing user "root" with no password in your Moodle config for now, and fix this later.

Moodle herunterladen

1. You're ready to install Moodle! Download the latest release of Moodle from Moodle.org, then unzip the archive.

Moodle installieren

1. Copy your moodle files into C:\Program Files\EasyPHP\www. You can either copy the entire moodle directory (ie C:\Program Files\EasyPHP\www\moodle) or copy all the contents of the moodle directory. If you choose this second option then you will be able to access your Moodle home page using http://localhost/ instead of http://localhost/moodle/.
2. Make a new empty folder somewhere else for Moodle to store uploaded files in, eg: C:\moodledata
3. Go into your Moodle folder. Make a copy of config-dist.php, and call it config.php

Edting the the config.php file

Edit config.php using a text editor (Notepad will do, just be careful that it doesn't add unwanted spaces at the end).

1. Put in all your new database info:
2. $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql';
   • $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost';
   • $CFG->dbname = 'moodle';
   • $CFG->dbuser = 'root';
   • $CFG->dbpass = '';
   • $CFG->dbpersist = true;
   • $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_';
3. And put in all your file paths
   • $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle'; // Use an external address if you know it.
   • $CFG->dirroot = 'C:\Program Files\EasyPHP\www\moodle';
   • $CFG->dataroot = 'C:\moodledata';
4. Save config.php - you can ignore the other settings if there are any.

Webbasierende Installation

1. You're nearly there now! The rest of the setup is all web-based. Visit http://localhost/moodle/admin/ with your browser to continue the setup via your browser.
2. To use zip files with Moodle (for example the backups use zip) you might need to enable "zlib". You can do this by going to your EasyPHP directory (C:\Program Files\EasyPHP), and running the program phpini.exe in there. Put a mark in the checkbox next to "zlib.dll". Close that window, then go to the black E in your toolbar and right-click it to get a menu - select "Restart" from this menu.

Setting a Cron

1. Lastly, you need to set up some sort of cron. See the Installation guide for more details on this.

Tipps

If you don't or can't use EasyPHP, here are a few tips to make sure your PHP is set up correctly and avoid common problems:

• Make sure you enable the GD module so Moodle can process images - you may have to edit php.ini and remove the comment (;) from this line: 'extension=php_gd2.dll'.
• Make sure you enable the Zlib module so that you can create and unpack zip files from within Moodle.
• Make sure sessions is turned on - you may have to edit php.ini and fix the directory for session.save_path - instead of the default "/tmp" use a Windows directory like "c:/temp".
