Moodle on SME 8

<< < (3/3)

hawk:
ok i haven't managed to get it working in the opt directory either.

but if you create an ibay, eg moodle2
then download from the moodle web site, unzip then load into the html folder, then run smeserver/moodle2 it should work, Version 2.2.10

let me know if you want other help
thanks

sme 8 has php 5.3.3 and mysql 5.0.95
so the most recent version of Moodle that is compatible with sme8 is
v2.2.11
which is now already no longer being supported by Moodle.

So until sme8 gets a newer version of mysql or sme9 arrives we will have to live with that.

When upgrading it really is a simple matter of moving existing files and replacing with the new set of files from the newer Moodle version.

see Moodle docs
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/?lang=en

and generic installation
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Installing_Moodle

and Generic upgrade instructions
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Upgrading


Please learn to read & search the web site for the application.

Also you will need to follow this
http://wiki.contribs.org/Uploadtmpdir
and do some other tweaks for upload settings, refer db settings Howtos & common db settings re PHP
see http://wiki.contribs.org/PHP
and http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration#Php

Hi,

Im new here but we have figured how to install Moodle 2.5 (latest as of today) on SME8. Once I get to understand how to navigate around this site, I will post back. Let me know of any questions.

Thanks,
Varuna

I see your other post about having created a rpm for Moodle 2.5 & wanting to create a contrib, good on you !
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,50079.0.html

From the Moodle download site at http://download.moodle.org/ newer versions of php & mysql are required than what sme8 currently uses by default.
Moodle 2.5.1+ or 2.5.1 Requires: PHP 5.3.3, MySQL 5.1.33 ....

SME8 Has: php 5.3.3 and mysql 5.0.95

So what did you do, upgrade mysql ?
This may risk breaking sme server when other upgrades are done (or it may be OK too) have you tested this ?

Hey Janet,

So we enabled InnoDB in the server and installed mySQL 5.5. Then we added InnoDB templates to my.cnf to make mySQL 5.5 work on SME8
I've layed out the steps in my Annouce post here:  http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,50081.0.html

As a matter of testing and stability: Initial impressions are that both moodle and SME8 functions as desired. I believe you have a point when mySQL updates are refreshed and we would not want to do this, esp when SME9 comes with a more recent mySQL version than SME8. Said that, this is the only intermediate solution we could think of.

Let me know your thoughts.
