[Moodle] LAMS installation troubles

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Daniel and I are going to have a go at supercharging our Moodle server by
integrating all these packages at once (Elgg, LAMS, Mahara etc). Am lucky to
have some tech help around on Monday and Tuesday from NetworkHelp so it is a
good opportunity for us to not miss the upgrade and have a specialist on
hand.

Of course we will do this using a virtual machine copy so we can roll back
the changes if it falls over or fails. I'll get Daniel to post some feedback
about how it goes.

Regards Roland
