| | |
| == What you need to start: ==
| |
| | |
| *[http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#lts Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server CD]
| |
| *A test x86 desktop computer, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and firewalled internet connection.
| |
| *One hour of time. (seriously!)
| |
| | |
| == Directions: ==
| |
| | |
| === Install Ubuntu ===
| |
| 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 [http://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html change it to 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 for production.
| |
| | |
| :<table>
| |
| :<tr><td width=%10>/boot</td><td width=%10>ext3</td><td align=right width=%10>200MB</td><td align=center width=%10>bootable</td>
| |
| <td>(needs to be on the first part of the drive)</td></tr>
| |
| :<tr><td>/</td><td>ext3</td><td align=right>10GB</td><td></td><td>(files are relatively static)</td></tr>
| |
| :<tr><td>swap</td><td></td><td align=right>4GB</td><td></td>
| |
| <td>(4xRAM if you don't have much memory, down to 1xRAM if you have gobs of memory)</td></tr>
| |
| :<tr><td>/var</td><td>ext3</td><td align=right>26GB</td><td></td><td>(variable content – uses rest of the drive)</td></tr>
| |
| :</table>
| |
| | |
| Select your '''timezone'''. (i.e. Central)
| |
| | |
| Set clock to '''Universal Time'''.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| Log in your account.
| |
| | |
| Edit the ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' file. Remove the ''#'' mark on line twenty-two to enable access to the universe package source. You will need to re-enter your account password when ''sudo'' asks for it.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Now to get all the security updates.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo apt-get updatet
| |
| | |
| sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Just press ''Y'' to install the updates. Normally you would just use ''sudo apt-get upgrade''.
| |
| | |
| And reboot to run on the new kernel!
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo reboot
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| === Install MySQL ===
| |
| At this point we'll need to log in again to the server.
| |
| | |
| Replace the string ''NewRootDatabasePassword'' with a secure password of your own choosing.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
| |
| | |
| mysqladmin –u root password NewRootDatabasePassword
| |
| | |
| mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password NewRootDatabasePassword
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| === Install Apache ===
| |
| | |
| On the command line, type:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysqli
| |
| </pre>
| |
| It's that simple!
| |
| | |
| === Install other software ===
| |
| On the command line, type:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| 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
| |
| </pre>
| |
| The clamav package will support virus checking on file uploads into Moodle.
| |
| | |
| Additional languages are available for aspell.
| |
| | |
| The LDAP and ODBC packages will help our Moodle authenticate via Active Directory and enroll via an Oracle database.
| |
| | |
| === Install Moodle ===
| |
| On the command line, type:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| 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
| |
| </pre>
| |
| We now need to edit the location of the default web site. On lines four and nine, replace ''/var/www'' with ''/var/www/moodle''. Restart Apache.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
| |
| | |
| sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Finally, we need to create the Moodle database and Moodle user in MySQL.
| |
| | |
| Replace the string ''RootDatabasePassword'' with the database password from above and replace ''NewMoodleDatabasePassword'' with a secure password of your own choosing.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| mysql -u root -p RootDatabasePassword
| |
| CREATE DATABASE moodle;
| |
| GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,INDEX,ALTER ON moodle.*
| |
| TO moodle@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'NewMoodleDatabasePassword';
| |
| FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
| |
| QUIT;
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| === Configure Moodle website ===
| |
| 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
| |
| | |
| Complete the Moodle install using a secure username and password
| |
| | |
| Go to a bar for a few hours.
| |
| | |
| Come back and tell your boss that you FINALLY got the test server running.
