一旦youâ ™ve得到了Apache/PHP 5/MySQL賽跑， Moodle€通常是容易安裝。

但設施劇本為Moodle擊中â ˜Nextâ ™的€1.8€失敗在進入數據庫信息以後給了我黑屏。

安裝優良運作在XP之下。 但問題isn†™t限制了到景色： 約翰McGrath和其他在moodle.org報告一個相似的問題在XAMPP/Win2000之下。 約翰手工修造他的配置文件得到Moodle賽跑(http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=64692).

我能成功地安裝Moodle 1.8在跟隨他的方法的景色之下。

1. 安裝Apache Web Server。 我使用亞帕基印第安人2.2.4。
2. 安裝MySQL 5 (沒有一個栓的最近安置者(5.0.41)工作在景色之下。 不要忘記疏導口岸3306在您的防火牆，并且設置sql-mode=」」在您的my.ini文件; Moodle不喜歡嚴密的方式)。
3. 安裝PHP 5. 我使用版本5.2.3。
4. 下載最新的穩定的修造1.8+從 http://download.moodle.org/download.php/stable18/moodle-latest-18.zip.
5. 拉開文件拉鏈入您的亞帕基印第安人文件根(c:\apache\htdocs，如果您遵守在連接的指示第一步)。 我給目錄c:\apache\htdocs\moodle18改名，因此我可能後安裝moodle的多個版本為測試。
6. 創造一個目錄為存放是在本文根的數據(我之外使用了c:\apache\htdata)。
7. 創造一個空數據庫為Moodle 1.8。 我使用了

I initially tried the msi installer for PHP 5. Unfortunately, it installs only PHP under CGI, which although it has some performance and security issues, might be ok for a quick and dirty development environment.

But the installer is badly broken. You’ll get an error something like

PHP Fatal error:  require_once()[function.require]: Failed opening
required 'SAM/php_sam.php' (include_path='.;C:php5pear') in
sam_factory on line 1

After fighting this for a couple of hours, I ended up installing manually anyway. I used this procedure to get PHP 5 running under Vista:

1. Install the Apache webserver.
2. Get the current version of PHP 5 from http://www.php.net/downloads.php#v5. (It’s 5.2.3 at this time). Get both the zip file and the PECL zip file (which includes extensions).
3. Uninstall any previous installations of PHP 5 (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features). You may have to reboot your machine.
4. Disconnect from the Internet. Turn off your firewall. Turn off your virus checker.
5. Turn off User Account Control (UAC).
6. Get an administrator prompt by going to All Programs > Accessories. Right-Click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as Administrator”
7. Use the command prompt to manually remove directories containing previous PHP installations (like C:\Program Files\PHP…)
8. Go to the directory where you’ve downloaded

Vista constantly asks for confirmation of actions when you’re installing software. This is designed to prevent worms and trojans from doing their thing, but some installations that worked under XP will fail under Vista because of this behavior. You can fix it (and stop the constant nagging) by stopping “User Account Control” as follows:

1. Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
2. Click on “Turn user account control on or off”.
3. Uncheck “Use user account control (UAC) to protect your computer”.
4. Click “OK”.
5. Reboot.

Installing Apache under Windows XP was trivial. Not so, under Vista. Creation of the Apache service fails. The conf directory can’t be set up by the installer, probably due to permission problems.

I finally got it working with the following procedure. I used the latest version of Apache (2.2.4) and Windows Vista Home Premium.

1. Uninstall any previous installations of Apache Web server (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features).
2. Turn off your firewall (Control Panel).
3. Stop User Account Control (UAC).
4. Get the most recent version of apache from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and put it on your desktop. Rename it to apache.msi
5. Start > All Programs > Accessories
6. Right-Click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as Administrator”
7. Manually remove directories containing previous apache installations (like C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation…)
8. Change to your desktop folder (At prompt type cd desktop)
9. Type “msiexec /i apache.msi” on the command prompt.
10. Run through the Apache installer. I’m running a development server, so I left the domain and computer name blank. Choose the default server on port 80 for all users option. Change the installation directory to c:\apache.
11. Reboot.
12. The little Apache feather won’t appear on the task bar under Vista with the present version of Apache (2.2.4). To remove
