Setting up a Moodle Site

Hi Friends,


I have learned how to setup the moodle and play around with it. It is really simple to install and use. Moodle is an Open source, Course Management System (CMS) also known as a Learning Management System (LMS). There are so many things you can do using moodle :)

Lets see how to install Moodle to the local machine.(in similar way you can setup it in a web server)

•  First of all Go to the Moodle web site and download the required Moodle package.( Before downloading check the required PHP and Mysql versions)
• If you are using xampp put the unzipped file(moodle) in to the htdocs.
• Create a database as MoodleDB(can give any name ) and change the collation to UTF8_Unicode_ci

Now its almost done , now only few more steps to do to finish installing Moodle.

STEP 1
it's simple few steps more , just go to chrome and type 
http://localhost/moodle/ 

(Make sure the Apache is  running )

You will get this installation page , choose English and click next. click on next to all the other pages until u get in to the step 2

STEP 2

Give the database name as MoodleDB (one we created in the beginning), Give the username and password. leave the other fields as it is. and click on next.

Click on the continue button until u get into step 3

STEP 3

STEP4

Give a name for the site and fill other details and click on Save changers.
Now we are done installing moodle to the local machine. You can play around with it and find new interesting features in it.
