I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.

Description:
Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a 40,000-student University.

pkg-message:
For install:
1) Create a user and a database for Moodle to store all its tables in (or choose an existing database). It doesn't matter what the database or user names are, as this will be configured in a later step. NOTE: this package assumes that either the phpX-pgsql, phpX-mysql, or phpX-mssql packages are installed. 2) Add the following to your Apache configuration file httpd.conf, and restart the server: Alias /moodle /usr/local/www/moodle/ AcceptPathInfo On <Directory /usr/local/www/moodle/> AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory> 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser (i.e., http://your.server.com/moodle/), and you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account, etc. At one step, you will get a message saying that the installer script was not able to automatically create the config.php file. Just download it and copy it to /usr/local/www/moodle/config.php. Beware that it will contain the database password in cleartext, so set up whatever file permissions you deem more adequate. For instance, user=root, group=www, mask=640. 4) Set up a cron task to invoke the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For instance: */5 * * * * fetch http://your.server.com/moodle/admin/cron.php For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle It may be worth reading the installation docs even if Moodle seems to be working at first, to ensure your PHP settings and database configuration will allow Moodle to operate properly.
