| Now that you have installed the moodle directory into your Wehttps://codetalkers.services/b Server's VirtualHost directory, you are ready to set up the Moodle Data directory, which should be outside of the root of the Web Server.

| After this, use your web browser of choice and navigate to domain.com/moodle/ and go through the configuration steps. You will need to specify the __usernameofdatabase__ and the __passwordfordatabaseuser__ you specified above. Also, pay special attention to the Moodle Data directory and ensure that it populated correctly - sometimes it specifies the wrong directory. Lastly, on Debian you will encounter and error in the php.config that needs to be resolved.

Once this is done, you should be able to complete the installation options given on the web page. It is now time to set up Moodle and use the Learning Management System for what it is designed for - learning with FreeSoftware! Here is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsQNAprWBfg|Moodle Tutorial]] I found helpful. Now that we are done with the tutorial, take a look at my finished product [[https://jonathanhaack.com/moodle/|Haack's Networking LMS]]. | In the first five lines, the configuration specifies "mysqli" and this needs to be changed to "mariadb" instead.
