Hi Andrew,

Using ssh to connect to the server I do the following: 

* copy the Moodle folder to /usr/share/moodle, and 

* create a moodle.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d that points to the moodle
folder - it's listed below. 

* my MoodleData folder is in /var/lib/moodle/data and has permissions
755, owner www-data. 

* create a database and user - I use mysql, so (assuming you have a root
mysql user with a password) Create the database and give the user some
permissions:

1. mysqladmin -u root -p create moodledb 2. mysql -u root -p
	grant all on moodledb.* to 'moodleuser'@'localhost' identified
by 'mysecretpassword';
	flush privileges;
	\q
3. restart apache (apache2ctl restart or /etc/init.dapache2 restart) 4.
Point your browser to moodle

If this doesn't take, try rebooting the server.

(ASIDE: I find the mc command line file manager invaluable for opening
zip/tar.gz files and copying/moving their contents F9 gives menus, F10
closes, Ctrl-T tags. Think the old Norton Commander or XTree Gold)


Moodle.conf file follows
