| ==Problem installing Moodle with Windows Vista==
| | Clas Academy |
| Many people tried to install Moodle on Windows Vista, but got blank screen after database config. This is due to some Vista permission issue.
| |
| This method is from Moodle forum and might help Moodle installation.
| |
| | |
| 1. Create a "moodledata" directory on somewhere in your PC ( May be c:\wwwroot\moodledata )
| |
| Not sure if this step is needed, but it worked.
| |
| | |
| 1. Right-click on the folder moodledata, select Properties, then select the Security tab.
| |
| 2. Click on "Everyone" ("Users" in some machine) in the top window (Group or User Names) then click Edit.
| |
| 3. Check to allow read and write permissions for Everyone (List folder contents and Read & Execute should already be checked)
| |
| | |
| 2. Create config.php in your main Moodle directory
| |
| | |
| <?php /// Moodle Configuration File
| |
|
| |
| unset($CFG);
| |
|
| |
| $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; //Database Type
| |
| $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; //Database Host
| |
| $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; //Database Name
| |
| $CFG->dbuser = 'root'; //Database User
| |
| $CFG->dbpass = ''; //Database Password
| |
| $CFG->dbpersist = false;
| |
| $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; //Table Prefix
| |
|
| |
| $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle'; //Location where moodle is accessed
| |
| $CFG->dirroot = 'C:\wwwroot\moodle'; //Directory of Moodle
| |
| $CFG->dataroot = 'C:\moodledata'; //Directory of moodledata folder (Created in step 1, Should be unaccessible through HTTP)
| |
| $CFG->admin = 'admin';
| |
|
| |
| $CFG->directorypermissions = 00777; // try 02777 on a server in Safe Mode
| |
|
| |
| $CFG->unicodedb = true; // If Database is utf8
| |
|
| |
| require_once("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php");
| |
| // MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EDIT THIS FILE THAT THERE ARE NO SPACES, BLANK LINES,
| |
| // RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.
| |
| ?>
| |
| | |
| 3. Go to your browser and type your moodle URL. you should get a screen that allows you to continue installation.
