Additional requirements

Should the installation page mention some of the more detailed PHP requirements also, like GD library and the FreeType 2 library on Linux/Unix boxes to be able to look at the dynamic graphs that the logs pages make? Samuli Karevaara 13 January 2006 11:10 (WST)

Yes, good idea - please contribute :-) Helen Foster 13 January 2006 11:35 (WST)

Please add to the "Requirements" section of the Installation Instructions something such as:

During Installation of Moodle the PHP Memory Limit should be set to 16M. Many commercial hosting providers have this set to 8M only. To find out your PHP Memory Limit use PHP Info. You may have to ask your service provider to increase the PHP Memory Limit before you can complete the installation.

Thanks for your help.


maybe this could be a good place to mention something for BUG 4937 If you plan on using SCORM objects and are using APACHE, then you may want to add the following MIME Type.... etc.... see here for details: http://moodle.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=4937&pos=24 --Dan Marsden 13:57, 8 June 2006 (WST)
