+POST-INSTALL CONFIGURATION FOR MOODLE
+=====================================
+
+1) Create a user and a database for Moodle to store all
+ its tables in (or choose an existing database).
+ It doesn't matter what the database or user names are,
+ as this will be configured in a later step.
+ NOTE: this package assumes that either the phpX-pgsql,
+ phpX-mysql, or phpX-mssql packages are installed.
+
+2) Add the following to your Apache configuration file
+ httpd.conf, and restart the server:
+
+ For Apache versions earlier than 2.4:
+
+ Alias /moodle %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%/
+ AcceptPathInfo On
+ <Directory %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%>
+ AllowOverride None
+ Order Allow,Deny
+ Allow from all
+ </Directory>
+
+ For Apache version 2.4.x or above:
+
+ Alias /moodle %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%/
+ AcceptPathInfo On
+ <Directory %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%/>
+ AllowOverride None
+ Require all granted
+ </Directory>
+
+3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser (i.e.,
+ http://your.server.com/moodle/), and you should
+ be taken to the install.php script, which will lead
+ you through creating a config.php file and then
+ setting up Moodle, creating an admin account, etc.
+
+ At one step, you will get a message saying that the
+ installer script was not able to automatically create
+ the config.php file. Just download it and copy it to
+ %%PREFIX%%/%%MOODLEDIR%%/config.php. Beware that it
+ will contain the database password in cleartext, so
+ set up whatever file permissions you deem more adequate.
+ For instance, user=root, group=www, mask=640.
+
+4) Set up a cron task to invoke the file admin/cron.php
+ every five minutes or so. For instance:
+ */5 * * * * fetch http://your.server.com/moodle/admin/cron.php
+
+For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION:
+
+ http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle
+
+It may be worth reading the installation docs even if Moodle seems
+to be working at first, to ensure your PHP settings and database
+configuration will allow Moodle to operate properly.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Moodle, check out
+possible additional steps at:
+
+ https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Upgrading
+
+If you have real trouble, please visit the Moodle course
+"Using Moodle" on moodle.org.
