Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software
package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators
create effective online learning communities. You can use it on any
computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a
single-teacher site to a 40,000-student University.
===> The following configuration options are available for moodle40-php80-4.0.9:
LDAP=off: LDAP protocol support
====> Options available for the single BACKEND: you have to select exactly one of them
MYSQL=on: MySQL database support
PGSQL=off: PostgreSQL database support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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:
Alias /moodle /usr/local/www/moodle/
AcceptPathInfo On
<Directory /usr/local/www/moodle/>
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
/usr/local/www/moodle/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 upgrading

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
