-First,
+Make sure you have LAMP/FEMP and TLS set up first.  Visit here for help with doing that:
+[[https://jonathanhaack.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=computing:apachesurvival|Apache Survival Tutorial]].  Okay, here are the pre-requisite packages:
- --- //[[netcmnd@jonathanhaack.com|oemb1905]] 2018/08/04 11:53//
+  sudo apt-get install aspell graphviz php-curl php-gd php-intl php-ldap php-mysql php-pspell php-xml php-xmlrpc php-zip php-soap php-mbstring libapache2-mod-php
+Next, let's download the latest moodle and place it in the web-root:
+  cd ~/Downloads
+  curl -L https://download.moodle.org/download.php/direct/stable32/moodle-latest-32.tgz > moodle.tgz
+  sudo tar -xvzf moodle.tgz -C /var/www/lms.haacksnetworking.com/
+  sudo mv /var/www/lms.haacksnetworking.com/moodle /var/www/domain.com/public_html
+Create your moodle's data directory (one directory outside of web-root) and provide it proper permissions and make it writeable by www-data user:
+  sudo mkdir /var/www/lms.haacksnetworking.com/moodledata
+  sudo chown www-data -R /var/www/lms.haacksnetworking.com/moodledata
+  sudo chmod 0770 -R /var/www/lms.haacksnetworking.com/moodledata
+Now, it is time to ser up your database:
+  sudo mysql -u root -p
+  > CREATE DATABASE database DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+  create user 'databaseuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwordhere';
+  > GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES,DROP,INDEX,ALTER ON database.* TO 'databaseuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwordhere';
+  > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+  > QUIT;
+Now the database is set up, so let's restart the mysql service and while we are at it, let's restart apache2 for good measure:
+  sudo systemctl restart apache2
+  sudo systemctl restart mysql
+Now we need to temporarily make the Moodle server world writeable so that we can configure it from our web browser:
+  sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/domain.com/public_html/moodle
+You may get a glitch with Debian which is covered on [[https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=330272|Moodle.net Forums]].  If so, navigate here, and edit the php.config file before you continue set-up:
+  cd /var/www/domain.com/public_html/moodle/
+  sudo nano php.config
+In the first five lines, the configuration specifies "mysqli" and this needs to be changed to "mariadb" instead.  Once this is done, you should be able to complete the installation options given on the web page.  Once moodle is running, set up permissions:
+[Updating Now - please be patient]
+. moodledata directory and all of its contents (and subdirectories, includes sessions):
+  sudo find /var/www/lms.haacksnetworking.com/moodledata -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
+owner: apache user (apache, httpd, www-data, whatever; see above)
+group: apache group (apache, httpd, www-data, whatever; see above)
+permissions: 700 on directories, 600 on files
+. moodle directory and all of its contents and subdirectories (including config.php):
+owner: root
+group: root
+permissions: 755 on directories, 644 on files.
+If you allow local logins for regular users, then 2. should be:
+owner: root
+group: apache group (apache, httpd, www-data, whatever; see above)
+permissions: 750 on directories, 640 on files.
+This tutorial is a designated "Invariant Section" of the "Technotronic" section of Haack's Wiki as described on the [[https://jonathanhaack.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start|Start Page]].
