Hi,


I don't know that I can make it out so here are some suggestions:

If it is Ubuntu then that is easy going, really, seriously - I even tried a
local install tonight to test it out.

Install Ubuntu

    Depending on machine all will go well with wireless (had some issues
with HP/Compaq Broadcom in the past)

Check out these instructions on Moodle - really makes it smooth.
http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Step-by-step_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu

open a terminal

install tasksel if you don't have it

install lamp (wow, that was so easy... enter passwords, you know the
routine)

    sudo tasksel install lamp-server

install moodle

   sudo apt-get install moodle

Seriously, no dependency issues, nothing. Really clean on this end.


Now for the fun part - go to localhost/moodle

Did you get a 404? I have gotten this...

Easy fix with a link

    cd /var/www;sudo ln -s /usr/share/moodle

Now try it – Yeah! Works! or should!


 Follow the instructions. Don't worry if you get 1 or 2 yellows...

Greens are awesome!

Select email display, town, basic info.

*** Don't forget the admin pwd because otherwise you/he will have some fun
in MySQL to look forward to in the future to reset that.


 Enter the Front settings and wow! There it is!

MOODLE! Yeah!!!!


 Now the fun part – don't know if he wants this done tomorrow because this
is actually the “really” fun stuff.

Site Administration

Add users, courses, etc... Works with SCORM Compliant courses.

Paypal or other payment methods. Some work here - Setup IPN in Paypal.
Setup enrolments in Moodle. Setup enrolment price in course in Moodle once
the course is added.

Change appearance – all these are really fun and can take time depending on
what configurations are requested/required.


 You might catch me on Skype at aicra_ if you have any issues and I'm awake!

Sorry but sometimes, I don't sleep on a "normal" schedule. (more or less
pass out after trying to keep eyes open....)

Also, Dave (?) can always contact me via skype or email with any future
questions if I don't make it.
