Simple Moodle server build using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server on a standard desktop
Ubuntu has committed to five years of support for the LTS (Long Term Support) server version.
Need:
- Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server CD
- x86 desktop computer, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and firewalled internet connection.
- One hour of time. (seriously!)
Directions:
- Start computer and use F12 to boot from CD.
- Select Install to hard drive.
- Select your language, country, and keyboard layout (i.e. English, United States, American English)
- 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.
- /boot ext3 200MB bootable (needs to be on the first part of the drive)
- / ext3 10GB (files are relatively static)
- swap 4GB (nice to have a good amount of space)
- /var ext3 26GB (variable content – uses rest of the drive)
- Select timezone (i.e. central)
- Set clock to Universal Time (i.e. yes)
- Enter Administrators Full name (i.e. Joe Smith)
- Enter account name (i.e. joesmith)
- Enter a secure password (‘abcde’ is not a good one!)
- Let the computer restart
- Login your account
- sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list (uncomment the universe source – about line 22)
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server openssh-server
- mysqladmin –u root password databasepassword
- OTHER MYSQL PASSWORD COMMAND
- sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysqli
- sudo apt-get install ntp ntp-simple unattended-upgrades
- sudo apt-get install clamav unzip zip aspell-en
- sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-security php5-ldap php5-odbc (requirements for our site)
- cd /var/www
- sudo wget http://download.moodle.org/stable17/moodle-latest-17.tgz
- sudo tar –zxf moodle-latest-17.tgz
- sudo mkdir /var/moodledata
- sudo chown –R www-data.www-data /var/moodledata /var/www/moodle
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (modify lines 4 and 9 from /var/www to /var/www/moodle)
- PUT MOODLE MYSQL command lines HERE!
- ifconfig (look for your server’s ip address on the 2nd line)
- On another computer open a web browser and put in your server address found in line 31.
- Complete the Moodle install using a secure username and password
- Reboot
- Go to a bar for a few hours.
- Come back and tell your boss that you FINALLY got the test server running.
