I was talking about Moodle with @robb and others recently so I just installed Moodle 3.4 which needs PHP 7 which I took from nethserver-php-scl by @stephdl :

  • tried postgres 9.6 from SCL without success, now mariadb with mariadb connector is used
  • PHP 7.1
  • custom template /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/opt/remi/php71/php.ini/90moodle for PHP7.1 settings
  • /etc/my.cnf.d/moodle.cnf for mysql config

This is just for the installation of the new version, for extra settings like AD check the first post of @robb and following…just copy/paste the following to a terminal:

yum -y install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/NethServer/7/x86_64/nethserver-stephdl-1.0.6-1.ns7.sdl.noarch.rpm
yum -y install http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum -y install nethserver-mysql nethserver-php-scl php71-php-opcache php71-php-xmlrpc php71-php-intl
wget https://download.moodle.org/download.php/direct/stable34/moodle-latest-34.tgz
tar -xzf moodle-latest-34.tgz
mv moodle /var/www/html/
mkdir /var/www/moodledata
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/moodledata /var/www/html/moodle
mysql
create database moodle character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
grant all privileges on moodle.* to moodle@localhost identified by 'SECRET';
exit;
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/opt/remi/php71/php.ini/
