Localhost
El sitio localhost significa "esta computadora" dentro de una red. En la documentación de Moodle, un localhost se refiere a un servidor web con Moodle, que está instalado en una computadora que típicamente no está conectada al Internet.
In [techie] talk " A localhost is a Internet Protocol loopback device which can be used by TCP/IP applications to talk to themselves."
La IP del bucle interno por defecto para el localhost es usualmente 127.0.0.1 . Esta IP es diferente de la IP que identifica a la computadora en la red.
Alcanzar un localhost
Después de desempacar un Paquete completo de instalación para Windows] en una PC con Windows, al usuario se le pide que abra un navegador de Internet y escriba "localhost" en la barra de direcciones. Esto produce el script para la instalación por primera vez de Moodle.
Every time the localhost is used, it is a good idea to check to see if it is has been turned on. Usually this involves running the Apache and the MySQL startup scripts.
Once these scripts are running, then the user will type "localhost", or 127.0.0.1 in the browser address field. Alternatively, many users have a "favorite" or link with either of these two addresses.
Uso de un paquee de instalación completo en una red interna
By changing a few lines of code in a few files, a "localhost" (one computer) webserver sometimes can be changed to be seen by other computers. Generally speaking, this should only be attempted on an internal (where computers share a single router) network.
For example, a teacher might have one computer in the classroom initially set up as a localhost with a Moodle on it. The 5 other computers students use as workstations can see that Moodle if they are on the same network. The students need to know the Moodle computer's network IP address and type that in their address bar of their browser. However, students will not be able to use it from home.

Us o de servidores localhost
Localhosts are great for testing things or building courses for later upload to an more secure Moodle site that can be seen from the web. It is possible to install a complete install package on your personal computer and make it available to others on a small network, such as a classroom. Most personal computers that have a complete install package (with its webserver) will not be configured to be visible from the internet.
