Note: Excuse the poor word choice of this page. Install is a verb, not a noun or adjective. The correct title for the page should be "Installation Guide," not "Install Guide." (Software geeks are not known for proper grammar, spelling, or word choice.)

The official moodle repository seems to be lagging significantly: it's still (jan 2009) on moodle version 1.8.2, where the latest stable build on moodle.org is 1.9.2. While that is the case, the package manager install route (either apt-get, synaptic or whatever) is not going to be ideal ... --Barry McMullin 10:41, 24 January 2009 (CST)

Install on Remote or headless server

I think the article should mention that the /etc/moodle/config.php file needs to be edited to change the webroot statement. It was very frustrating to be working on a server install with no GUI/webbrowser to perform initial configuration.

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle';

to reflect the address or fqdn of the server

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://192.168.1.2/moodle';
