4 Here is a basic outline of the installation process,
5 which normally takes me only a few minutes:
7 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory.
9 2) Create an empty directory somewhere to store
10 uploaded files (NOT accessible via the web).
11 This directory must be writeable by the web server
14 3) Create a single database for Moodle to store all
17 4) Copy the file config-dist.php to config.php, and
18 edit it with all your own settings.
20 5) Visit your new home page with a web browser. Moodle
21 will lead you through the rest of the setup,
22 creating an admin account and so on.
24 6) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php
25 every five minutes or so.
27 For more details, I highly recommend you read the
28 full installation documentation, which is stored
29 in the "doc" directory or found at http://moodle.com/doc/.
