Step by Step Installation on a OS X Mountain Lion Server

Overview

This guide shows all steps for installing Moodle on Mountain Lion running OS X Server. This server is a commercial product. OS X 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 guide DOES NOT show you how to setup Moodle on MAMP or XAMPP. If you do not have a web server currently running on your computer, please see Complete Install Packages for Mac OS X that can be downloaded from http://download.moodle.org/macosx/

Internet-accessible or "live" servers should use a more robust and secure implementation than provided by MAMP or XAMPP for OS X.

Please feel free to add comments to this page about any edits you believe should be made.
