Installation in a Windows Environment

XAMPP is a free Apache distribution that contains MySQL and PHP (as well as Perl). It exists for a number of operating systems. The Moodle distribution for Windows makes full use of XAMPP, and is located at http://download.moodle.org/windows. The installation works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003.

Once downloaded, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the distribution to a directory on your PC and unzip the archive in your directory of choice.
  2. Make sure any software that uses port 80 (such as Skype) is not running or change it to use an alternative port.
  3. Double-click on Start Moodle.exe.
  4. If you have a firewall installed, allow the database service mysqld.exe to be executed.
  5. A command line window will appear, which has to stay open. You can minimize the window, but do not close it.

  6. Go to your web browser and enter http://localhost to your address bar.
  7. You will see an installer being launched, which is the same one described for the LAMP environment. All values have already been populated; all you have to do is navigate through all the screens until you see the familiar Setup administrator account. This process will take a few minutes.
  8. Enter the administrator details and select Update Profile.
  9. Enter the Front Page settings for your site.
  10. Check that no warnings are displayed in the Notifications area in the Site Administration block.

That's it! Your Moodle system is now up and running. You are now able to use Moodle locally or from a web browser on another machine as long as your IP address is accessible via the network you are in.

The XAMPP-based Moodle distribution is only suitable for servers with a small number of users. For larger Windows installations, you have to install Moodle manually or with Microsoft IIS (check out http://download.moodle.org/windows for details).

To stop using Moodle, double-click on Stop Moodle.exe. If you have a firewall installed, allow myadmin.exe to be executed.

Installation in a Windows Environment

Instead of starting and stopping Moodle manually, you can start Apache and MySQL automatically as Windows services. In the server directory of your Moodle system you find an executable called service.exe, which you have to run with the -install parameter as administrator, for example:

C:/moodle/server/service.exe -install
