Hello
May I suggest, if at all possible, 'Forget Cutting Edge Fedora of any
version' for business and enterprise application.
Cutting edge Fedora is volatile and in my understanding, unsuitable for
most real life on going enterprises until it gets to end of life, by
then a New Fedora with attendant problems is churned out.
There are stable OS options which work well with Moodle. Clients are
more important than problematic operating systems.
FWIW

Hello list members!
I'm having a hard time trying to make moodle work on my Fedora 16.
Few days ago I got the greatest news: one of my clients is moving
to Moodle and that means a lot of work for this year. The Moodle
server will be in their headquarters and someone will take care of
it, so no problem there. But I have to move 80 and something
courses from another CMS to Moodle, and the production server will
not be available in a while...
I want to setup a local development server to start migrating the
courses, and also to maintain them and move ready copies of the
courses to production.
Yesterday I installed moodle from the repositories, together with
a bunch of dependencies, http and php + php modules.
Then I fought against moodle for the rest of the day as it appears
that it did not allow me to use any directory to be its data
directory. I finally solved that this morning with some SElinux
magic after few hours of reading.
What changes did you have to make to get SELinux to stop complaining?
maybe we can make these defaults.
I pointed the browser to localhost/moodle and tada! welcome page.
Click next. Error, cannot continue, php-zip is missing. I yum
search for it, and it is not on any repository. I confirmed it does
not exist in any repo, so.... well, here I am now.
Questions: - How can I install php-zip? I am comfortable on Linux,
been using Fedora since it exists, on 3 different computers at
home. I have made my share of administering them and they all work
so far :-) although I have never installed anything from source.
So, what would be the easiest way to install php-zip? Can I get
somewhere the srpm and build it? Or do I really have to uninstall
php and install from scratch with "enable zip"? This last bit
scares me.
- Is it possible somehow to make moodle accept as data folder one
folder in /home? I couldn't make it work. At the moment it resides
in /var/www/moodledata, but I'd like to move it under /home as
this partition is much bigger.
I'm sure more things will come up, I'd appreciate any and all the
help you could offer.
Cheers, Ester
