Hello list members!
I'm having a hard time trying to make moodle work on my Fedora 16.
Few days ago I got the greatest news: one of my clients is moving to
Moodle and that means a lot of work for this year. The Moodle server
will be in their headquarters and someone will take care of it, so no
problem there. But I have to move 80 and something courses from another
CMS to Moodle, and the production server will not be available in a
while...
I want to setup a local development server to start migrating the
courses, and also to maintain them and move ready copies of the courses
to production.
Yesterday I installed moodle from the repositories, together with a
bunch of dependencies, http and php + php modules.
Then I fought against moodle for the rest of the day as it appears that
it did not allow me to use any directory to be its data directory. I
finally solved that this morning with some SElinux magic after few hours
of reading.
I pointed the browser to localhost/moodle and tada! welcome page. Click
next. Error, cannot continue, php-zip is missing. I yum search for it,
and it is not on any repository. I confirmed it does not exist in any
repo, so.... well, here I am now.
Questions:
- How can I install php-zip?
I am comfortable on Linux, been using Fedora since it exists, on 3
different computers at home. I have made my share of administering them
and they all work so far :-) although I have never installed anything
from source.
So, what would be the easiest way to install php-zip? Can I get
somewhere the srpm and build it? Or do I really have to uninstall php
and install from scratch with "enable zip"? This last bit scares me.
- Is it possible somehow to make moodle accept as data folder one folder
in /home? I couldn't make it work. At the moment it resides in
/var/www/moodledata, but I'd like to move it under /home as this
partition is much bigger.
I'm sure more things will come up, I'd appreciate any and all the help
you could offer.
Cheers,
Ester
