Instalando AMP

From MoodleDocs

O Moodle é escrito na linguagem chamada PHP e armazena a maioria dos dados em um banco de dados, o mais conhecido e recomendado é o MySQL.

PHP

PHP (um acrônimo recursivo para "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") é uma linguagem de programação de computadores interpretada, livre e muito utilizada para gerar conteúdo dinâmico na World Wide Web, como por exemplo a Wikipédia. Apesar de ser uma linguagem de fácil aprendizagem e de utilização para pequenos scripts dinâmicos simples, o PHP é uma poderosa linguagem orientada a objetos. PHP


MySQL

O MySQL é um sistema de gerenciamento de banco de dados (SGBD), que utiliza a linguagem SQL (Structured Query Language - Linguagem de Consulta Estruturada) como interface. É atualmente um dos bancos de dados mais populares.

MySQL

Antes de instalarmos o Moodle devemos ter o PHP e o MySQL instalados e funcionando em conjunto com o servidor web Apache. Assim, com o Apache, PHP e MySQL funcionando em seu computador você terá um servidor pronto para instalar o Moodle. Moodle does have Complete install packages in the download section as well as the Moodle only package.

The AMP individual applications can be tricky to set up for average computer users. This page has been written to try to make this process as simple as possible for different platforms.

Links para Downloads


Windows XP

Installing Moodle for the first time on a Localhost (a stand alone computer) is easy and can be a very useful tool even if a web based production Moodle Server is available for use. These instructions work on a Windows XP computer.

  1. On the Windows packages download page, choose the version you would like. Click on the download link in the rightmost column. This will download a large zip file.
  2. Unzip the downloaded file at c: and keep the path structure for all the files.
  3. Rename the just created c:\moodle to c:\xampplite (c:\xampplite will be our example) but you could rename it c:\moodle16 or c:\moodle17 or C:\testMoodle or whatever .
  4. Using Windows Explorer run the file c:\xampplite\setup_xampp.bat which will make sure all the configuration files use c:\xampplite as the home or root directory.
  5. The following steps assume that the web server will be able to use port 80 on your computer. See troubleshooting if you are running Skype which also likes to use this port as a default.
  6. Be sure that you are administrator or at least that you have rights to install new services.
  7. There many ways to start the localhost webserver from this point for the Moodle install. Here are two ways.
    1. Slightly faster
      1. Using Windows Explorer run the file c:\xampplite\restart_xampp.bat and do not close the window that opens.
    2. Still fast
      1. In Windows Explorer click on c:\xampplite\apache_start to start the Apache web server. This opens a new window that you should leave open.
      2. In Windows Explorer click on c:\xampplite\mysql_start to start the MySQL database server. This opens yet another new window that you should leave open.
  8. In your favorite Web browser, go to the address bar and type "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" and press enter or click go.
  9. This will start the Moodle Install process, which the Installing Moodle MoodleDoc page section describes in a little bit more detail. This can take some time for a new user. Don't panic, you can change things later and the install process will tell you what you absolutely have to fill in or correct.

Easier Moodle restarts

There are lots of ways to start a Moodle after an install. Most Moodlers will have one or more "localhost" links on their computer installed in "Favorites" or even as a browser's default opening screen. But first a web server has to be started. Here are two ways to start them.

Automatic Windows services startup

In order to make starting Moodle more convenient in the future you could install the web and database servers as Windows services that are started automatically. To do this go to Start -> Run... and type the command "c:/xampplite/service.exe -install" into Open box. Then click OK.

Start Moodle by typing localhost in the web browser and/or adding localhost as a favorite site.

Single button service startups

Sometimes there are more than one localhost installed on a computer. Create a shortcut on the start menu, favorites or desktop that points to each specific file like c:\xampplite\restart_xampp.bat . Label each shortcut to a localhost differently, for example C_MoodleXampp, or Moodle16 or Moodle17 or whatever.

Start Moodle by placing localhost in the web browser or adding it as a favorite site. Whichever localhost you restarted, that is the Moodle your web browser will find.

Outras opções de instalação

Ao invés de utilizar esse pacote, você também pode instalar XAMPP e o Moodle separadamente como explicado na página Windows_installation_using_XAMPP.

As an alternative to the above package you could use a package like EasyPHP that bundles all the software you need into a single Windows application. Note that the EasyPHP 1.8 uses older versions of the software that are too old for Moodle 1.6. Also many menus for EasyPHP are still in French. EasyPHP may be a good option again once its version 2.0 is released.

Here you can find steps for an IIS: Windows installation for XAMPP or Windows 2003 .

Testando se o PHP funciona

Uma vez instalado o PHP na sua máquina servidora web você estará apto a criar um arquivo (ex: info.php) e colocá-lo na raiz do seu servidor web (Apache).

Crie um arquivo de texto com o seguinte conteúdo: <?php phpinfo()?>

e salve-o como info.php no diretório raiz (root) C:\Arquivos de programas\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs do seu windows. Esse é o diretório padrão das páginas do Apache.

Para fazer a verificação entre no seu navegador preferido e digite o endereço InfoPHP. Se tudo correr bem você visualizará as informações do PHP do seu servidor.
