Template:Moodle 2.0
Some large scale deployments or special distributions may prefer command line environment when installing or upgrading Moodle. All command line tools are located in admin/cli/*
Support for custom site defaults
Sites now may have different defaults - MDL-17850, all you need to do is to add local/defaults.php file to your installation. The internal format is:
<?php
$defaults['pluginname']['settingname'] = 'settingvalue'; //for plugins
$defaults['moodle']['settingname'] = 'settingvalue'; //for core settings
These defaults are used during install, upgrade and are also displayed as defaults in admin configuration forms.
Installation
Advanced cli installation script.
Command line Moodle installer, creates config.php and initializes database. Please note you must execute this script with the same uid as apache or use chmod/chown after installation. Site defaults may be changed via local/defaults.php. Options: --chmod=OCTAL-MODE Permissions of new directories created within dataroot. Default is 2777. You may want to change it to 2770 or 2750 or 750.
