32 //=========================================================================
33 // 1. DATABASE SETUP
34 //=========================================================================
35 // First, you need to configure the database where all Moodle data //
36 // will be stored. This database must already have been created //
37 // and a username/password created to access it. //
38 // //
39 // mysql - the prefix is optional, but useful when installing //
40 // into databases that already contain tables. //
42 // postgres7 - the prefix is REQUIRED, regardless of whether the //
43 // database already contains tables. //
44 // //
45 // A special case exists when using PostgreSQL databases via sockets. //
46 // Define dbhost as follows, leaving dbname, dbuser, dbpass BLANK!: //
47 // $CFG->dbhost = " user='muser' password='mpass' dbname='mdata'"; //
48 //
50 $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)
51 $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com
52 $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; // database name, eg moodle
53 $CFG->dbuser = 'username'; // your database username
54 $CFG->dbpass = 'password'; // your database password
55 $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // Prefix to use for all table names
57 $CFG->dbpersist = false; // Should database connections be reused?
58 // "false" is the most stable setting
59 // "true" can improve performance sometimes
62 //=========================================================================
63 // 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
64 //=========================================================================
65 // Now you need to tell Moodle where it is located. Specify the full
66 // web address to where moodle has been installed. If your web site
67 // is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one
68 // that your students would use. Do not include a trailing slash
70 $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://example.com/moodle';
73 //=========================================================================
74 // 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
75 //=========================================================================
76 // Next, specify the full OS directory path to this same location
77 // Make sure the upper/lower case is correct. Some examples:
79 // $CFG->dirroot = 'c:\FoxServ\www\moodle'; // Windows
80 // $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Redhat Linux
81 // $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/www/moodle'; // Cpanel host
83 $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/www/moodle';
86 //=========================================================================
87 // 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
88 //=========================================================================
89 // Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This
90 // directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user
91 // (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible
92 // directly via the web.
94 // - On hosting systems you might need to make sure that your "group" has
95 // no permissions at all, but that "others" have full permissions.
97 // - On Windows systems you might specify something like 'c:\moodledata'
99 $CFG->dataroot = '/home/example/moodledata';
102 //=========================================================================
103 // 5. DATA FILES PERMISSIONS
104 //=========================================================================
105 // The following parameter sets the permissions of new directories
106 // created by Moodle within the data directory. The format is in
107 // octal format (as used by the Unix utility chmod, for example).
108 // The default is usually OK, but you may want to change it to 0750
109 // if you are concerned about world-access to the files (you will need
110 // to make sure the web server process (eg Apache) can access the files.
111 // NOTE: the prefixed 0 is important, and don't use quotes.
113 $CFG->directorypermissions = 0777;
116 //=========================================================================
117 // 6. DIRECTORY LOCATION (most people can just ignore this setting)
118 //=========================================================================
119 // A very few webhosts use /admin as a special URL for you to access a
120 // control panel or something. Unfortunately this conflicts with the
121 // standard location for the Moodle admin pages. You can fix this by
122 // renaming the admin directory in your installation, and putting that
123 // new name here. eg "moodleadmin". This will fix admin links in Moodle.
125 $CFG->admin = 'admin';
128 //=========================================================================
129 // 7. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS (ignore these for new installations)
130 //=========================================================================
132 // Prevent users from updating their profile images
133 // $CFG->disableuserimages = true;
135 // Prevent scheduled backups from operating (and hide the GUI for them)
136 // Useful for webhost operators who have alternate methods of backups
137 // $CFG->disablescheduledbackups = true;
139 // Restrict certain usernames from doing things that may mess up a site
140 // This is especially useful for demonstration teacher accounts
141 // $CFG->restrictusers = 'teacher,fred,jim';
143 // Turning this on will make Moodle filter more than usual, including
144 // forum subjects, activity names and so on (in ADDITION to the normal
145 // texts like forum postings, journals etc). This is mostly only useful
146 // when using the multilang filter. This feature may not be complete.
147 // $CFG->filterall = true;
149 // Setting this to true will enable admins to edit any post at any time
150 // $CFG->admineditalways = true;
154 //=========================================================================
155 // ALL DONE! To continue installation, visit your main page with a browser
156 //=========================================================================
157 if (file_exists("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php")) { // Do not edit
158 include_once("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php");
159 } else {
160 if ($CFG->dirroot == dirname(__FILE__)) {
161 echo "<p>Could not find this file: $CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php</p>";

171 // RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.
