Install Moodle on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server

In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of installing Moodle on your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server. Before we begin, ensure that you have an instance of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server and a Cloudcone account.

To get started, first, login as root and update and upgrade the system repositories using the following commands:

```

# sudo apt update -y

# sudo apt upgrade -y

```

Next, install Apache HTTP web server by running the command:

```

# apt install apache2

```

After installing Apache, verify its status by running:

```

# systemctl status apache2

```

Then, start Apache2 HTTP server by running:

```

# systemctl start apache2

```

To install PHP and MySQL database for storing Moodle data, run the command:

```

# apt install mysql-client mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php

```

Next, secure your MySQL installation by running:

```

# mysql_secure_installation

```

This will prompt you to answer a series of questions. Simply follow the prompts and ensure that you set a strong root password.

To start and enable the MySQL database on boot run:

```

# systemctl start mysql

# systemctl enable mysql

```

Now, install Moodle by downloading it from the official website and extracting it to your preferred location.

Finally, configure Apache to serve Moodle by creating a new configuration file for Apache. This will involve modifying the `default_storage_engine` parameter in the `/etc/mysql/50-server.cnf` file.

By following these steps, you will have successfully installed Moodle on your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server and be able to start using it right away.
