The VDAB (Public employment and vocational training service of the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) is currently preparing an implementation of Moodle 1.9 on a large scale for its clients.
As a first step we have installed Moodle on a standard environment for VDAB being a Solaris 10 with Oracle 10g. Since this operation went succefully, problems encountered were solved, the VDAB offers the installation documentation to the Moodle community.

Purpose of this document
This document provides an in-depth installation manual for Moodle on Solaris 10 with Oracle 10.2.0.2.
We provide an overview of the different steps involved:
- Preparing Oracle 10g for a large Moodle installation
- Configuring Apache 2.2 for a secure and high-performance webserver
- Preparing all necessary PHP packages for Apache and Oracle
- Preparing PHP settings for Moodle
- An overview of the steps in the Moodle installation wizard.
Setting up the Oracle Database
We set up 2 parallel Moodle installations on one and a database on a separate server. Both installations share the same Oracle database, but use a different tablespace.
The Oracle 10.2.0.2 database runs on a Solaris 10 and is set up using Oracle's DBCA tool.
- This is testzone1 on the test server testitis00
- Database name = testitis02.vdab.be
- We used the General purpose template for the database set-up;
- And set UTF8 character encoding to NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
For each Moodle installation we create a separate Tablespace:
- First Moodle installation on testzone2:
- * MOODLE_DATA with initial size of 300MB
User: MOODLEUSER, password: moodle
The user only has rights within the specified tablespace
l Second Moodle installation on testzone3:
MOODLE_DATA2 with initial size of 300MB
User: MOODLEUSER2, password: moodle
The user only has rights within the specified tablespace
