Talk:Complete install packages

Amen about the readme instructions! Just finished an install using 'my' step by step on an OS Windows XP Professional machine. It was a little scary how easy the non-Moodle part was. One of the tricks is to rename the C:\moodle to C:\xampplite immediately. Otherwise the user has to go into several php config files. And the readme files don't say which ones. (No I will not ask why it unzips to c:\moodle or the config files are all set to c:\xampplite. Rename the folder is a quick fix. Must be some technical reason the bald guy has missed, which can probably be found in the cobwebs of Moodle history :) )

What do you think, just put the link or duplicate the instructions from the link? What is the viewer of this page expecting. Could be how to install Moodle on a Window's server or could be how to install Moodle on a Window's localhost. --Chris collman 2 21:17, 24 July 2006 (WST)

The Quick installation is not exactly correct and is too complicated. I am going to change it. Thanks Nichole for the words which provided a good foundation. I have now installed a clean copy of Moodle 1.6 and 1.7 beta at least 6 times in the last month. Experts who disagree, please correct us. Thanks--Chris collman 10:00, 24 September 2006 (CDT)

Add a new page

Helen, wonder if it would be OK to create a page Complete Install Packages for Windows to go along with Complete Install Packages for Mac OS X . I would move the windows specific stuff there and then move links from this page as needed. Unless we want to marginalize the MACers, this page is moving towards one of those Disambiguation pages as it is written :) --Chris collman 08:15, 19 February 2007 (CST)

Hi Chris, you're welcome to create new pages as appropriate. Please note the recommendations in MoodleDocs:Guidelines for contributors. --Helen Foster 11:31, 19 February 2007 (CST)

I will review the guidelines and put this on my to do list. I am most concerned about relinking things in the context of other pages that link to this one. Right now I am looking at the Lesson Demo project, as you can see with my page edits. As always thanks for your guidance.--Chris collman 06:47, 21 February 2007 (CST)
