32//=========================================================================
33// 1. DATABASE SETUP
34//=========================================================================
35// First, you need to configure the database where all Moodle data //
36// will be stored. This database must already have been created //
37// and a username/password created to access it. //
38// //
39// mysql - the prefix is optional, but useful when installing //
40// into databases that already contain tables. //
41//
42// postgres7 - the prefix is REQUIRED, regardless of whether the //
43// database already contains tables. //
44// //
45// A special case exists when using PostgreSQL databases via sockets. //
46// Define dbhost as follows, leaving dbname, dbuser, dbpass BLANK!: //
47// $CFG->dbhost = " user='muser' password='mpass' dbname='mdata'"; //
48//
49
50$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)
51$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com
52$CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; // database name, eg moodle
53$CFG->dbuser = 'username'; // your database username
54$CFG->dbpass = 'password'; // your database password
55$CFG->dbpersist = true; // Use persistent database connection?
56 // (should be 'true' for 99% of sites)
57$CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // Prefix to use for all table names
58
59
60//=========================================================================
61// 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
62//=========================================================================
63// Now you need to tell Moodle where it is located. Specify the full
64// web address to where moodle has been installed. If your web site
65// is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one
66// that your students would use. Do not include a trailing slash
67
68$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://example.com/moodle';
69
70
71//=========================================================================
72// 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
73//=========================================================================
74// Next, specify the full OS directory path to this same location
75// Make sure the upper/lower case is correct. Some examples:
76//
77// $CFG->dirroot = 'c:\FoxServ\www\moodle'; // Windows
78// $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Redhat Linux
79// $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/www/moodle'; // Cpanel host
80
81$CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/www/moodle';
82
83
84//=========================================================================
85// 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
86//=========================================================================
87// Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This
88// directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user
89// (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible
90// directly via the web.
91//
92// - On hosting systems you might need to make sure that your "group" has
93// no permissions at all, but that "others" have full permissions.
94//
95// - On Windows systems you might specify something like 'c:\moodledata'
96
97$CFG->dataroot = '/home/example/moodledata';
98
99
100//=========================================================================
101// 5. DATA FILES PERMISSIONS
102//=========================================================================
103// The following parameter sets the permissions of new directories
104// created by Moodle within the data directory. The format is in
105// octal format (as used by the Unix utility chmod, for example).
106// The default is usually OK, but you may want to change it to 0750
107// if you are concerned about world-access to the files (you will need
108// to make sure the web server process (eg Apache) can access the files.
109// NOTE: the prefixed 0 is important, and don't use quotes.
110
111$CFG->directorypermissions = 0777;
112
113
114//=========================================================================
115// 6. DIRECTORY LOCATION (most people can just ignore this setting)
116//=========================================================================
117// A very few webhosts use /admin as a special URL for you to access a
118// control panel or something. Unfortunately this conflicts with the
119// standard location for the Moodle admin pages. You can fix this by
120// renaming the admin directory in your installation, and putting that
121// new name here. eg "moodleadmin". This will fix admin links in Moodle.
122
123$CFG->admin = 'admin';
124
125
126//=========================================================================
92848614 127// 7. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS (ignore these for new installations)
21d1d077 128//=========================================================================
129//
130// Prevent users from updating their profile images
131// $CFG->disableuserimages = true;
132//
92848614 133// Prevent scheduled backups from operating (and hide the GUI for them)
134// Useful for webhost operators who have alternate methods of backups
135// $CFG->disablescheduledbackups = true;
21d1d077 136//
137// Restrict certain usernames from doing things that may mess up a site
138// This is especially useful for demonstration teacher accounts
139// $CFG->restrictusers = 'teacher,fred,jim';
140//
609a2b13 141// Turning this on will make Moodle filter more than usual, including
142// forum subjects, activity names and so on (in ADDITION to the normal
143// texts like forum postings, journals etc). This is mostly only useful
144// when using the multilang filter. This feature may not be complete.
145// $CFG->filterall = true;
7758d00f 146//
147// Setting this to true will enable admins to edit any post at any time
148// $CFG->admineditalways = true;
