Overview
This guide shows all steps for the installation of Moodle on a OS X Lion Server - the new name for Mac OS X 10.7 Server. This server is a commercial product. The OS X Lion Server can be used as an inhouse server as well as an internet server. You will find all documentations about the web server on the Apple support pages.
This installation guide can't be useful for an installation on MAMP or XAMPP. If you are looking for an easy way to install Moodle on your local machine please use Complete install packages for Mac OS X 10.4/10.5/10.6/10.7 Clients that can be downloaded from http://download.moodle.org/macosx/ ... but if you are planning to set up a Moodle internet server on a Mac then you should think about some more security as the ever local packages MAMP or XAMPP could give.
Please feel free to add your ideas and wishes to the discussion page for this article. You may also write a complete chapter if you tried the facts yourself on your own OS X Lion Server. I am most interested to make the things better.
System requirements
+ Apple Computer + Mac mini, Mac Pro or Xserve + Processor: Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or Intel Core 2 Duo + RAM: 2 GB or better + Hard Disk: 500 MB free + System Software: OS X Lion Server 10.7
