Moodle on Solaris
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Recently I had the opportunity to install Moodle—a PHP-driven, open source course management system for online learning—on one of our enterprise class servers running Sun Solaris 10 and Sun Java System Web Server 7.0. While there were a number of packages available to simplify the installations of some versions of PHP and Moodle, I needed to install Moodle 1.9, for which there were not suitable packages readily available. In this entry I document the steps I took to perform manual installations of both pieces of software, as well as some of the technical issues I ran into along the way.
