How to Install Install Moodle on Ubuntu

On the command line, type:
cd /var/www
sudo wget http://download.moodle.org/stable19/moodle-latest-19.tgz
sudo tar -zxf moodle-latest-19.tgz
----
in ubuntu 8.04 it should be:
sudo tar zxf moodle-latest-19.tgz
----
sudo mkdir /var/moodledata
sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /var/moodledata


We now need to edit the location of the default web site. On lines five and ten, replace /var/www/ with /var/www/moodle/. Restart Apache.


sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Configure Moodle website
ifconfig (look for your server’s ip address on the 2nd line)
On another computer open a web browser and put in your server address
Complete the Moodle install using a secure username and password
Go to a bar for a few hours.
Come back and tell your boss that you FINALLY got the test server running.
