Set Up Your Own Moodle Server for Training
When doing Moodle training, I encourage folks to setup their own server on the computer they are using. I often choose MAMP for Mac users, and XAMPP for Windows and/or GNU/Linux folks (while XAMPP is available for Mac, I found it a bit clunky and not as easy…I’ll keep checking it, though). These are fairly easy to use and work with.
Tonight, I ran into another solution from TeachAGeek. He writes:
In a previous post (actually hosted on another site) I described how to Install Moodle In The Uniform Server. Since then I’ve had several requests on how to open up UniServer so that it can be accessed by any computer on the LAN.
I’m about to do a presentation on “Classroom Management & Communications Using Moodle” at the CTE Summer Conference, so, I thought it would be appropriate to finally write a quick howto on the steps I took to get this to work.
The Uniform Server is:
… a WAMP package that allows you to run a server on any MS Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server. Developers also use The Uniform Server to test their applications made with either PHP, MySQL, Perl, or the Apache HTTPd Server…Most people are concerned with the question if they can run The Uniform Server in production and the answer to that is Yes.
So, another solution that can be used. I’ll have to try this out. Anyone else try it?
