34// 1. DATABASE SETUP
35//=========================================================================
36// First, you need to configure the database where all Moodle data //
37// will be stored. This database must already have been created //
38// and a username/password created to access it. //

41$CFG->dblibrary = 'native'; // 'native' only at the moment
42$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; // eg 'localhost' or 'db.isp.com' or IP

62// 1.5. SECRET PASSWORD SALT
63//=========================================================================
64// User password salt is very important security feature, it is created
65// automatically in installer, you have to uncomment and modify value
66// on the next line if you are creating config.php manually.
67//
5cc1e1eb 68// $CFG->passwordsaltmain = 'a_very_long_random_string_of_characters#@6&*1';
9d975de4
PS
69//
70// After changing the main salt you have to copy old value into one
71// of the following settings - this allows migration to the new salt
72// during the next login of each user.

83// 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
84//=========================================================================
85// Now you need to tell Moodle where it is located. Specify the full
eb2042f6 86// web address to where moodle has been installed. If your web site
87// is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one
6077020a 88// that your students would use. Do not include a trailing slash
11e7b506 89//
90// If you need both intranet and Internet access please read
91// http://docs.moodle.org/en/masquerading
6077020a 92
93$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://example.com/moodle';
94
95
96//=========================================================================
97// 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
98//=========================================================================
99// Next, specify the full OS directory path to this same location
100// Make sure the upper/lower case is correct. Some examples:
101//
6f6b8f3f 102// $CFG->dirroot = 'C:\program files\easyphp\www\moodle'; // Windows
6077020a 103// $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Redhat Linux
5ec98a94 104// $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle'; // Cpanel host
6077020a 105
5ec98a94 106$CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle';
6077020a 107
108
109//=========================================================================
110// 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
111//=========================================================================
112// Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This
eb2042f6 113// directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user
114// (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible
6077020a 115// directly via the web.
116//
117// - On hosting systems you might need to make sure that your "group" has
118// no permissions at all, but that "others" have full permissions.
119//
120// - On Windows systems you might specify something like 'c:\moodledata'
121
122$CFG->dataroot = '/home/example/moodledata';
123
124
125//=========================================================================
126// 5. DATA FILES PERMISSIONS
127//=========================================================================
128// The following parameter sets the permissions of new directories
eb2042f6 129// created by Moodle within the data directory. The format is in
6077020a 130// octal format (as used by the Unix utility chmod, for example).
eb2042f6 131// The default is usually OK, but you may want to change it to 0750
6077020a 132// if you are concerned about world-access to the files (you will need
133// to make sure the web server process (eg Apache) can access the files.
134// NOTE: the prefixed 0 is important, and don't use quotes.
135
d99bab2d 136$CFG->directorypermissions = 02777;
6077020a 137
138
139//=========================================================================
140// 6. DIRECTORY LOCATION (most people can just ignore this setting)
141//=========================================================================
eb2042f6 142// A very few webhosts use /admin as a special URL for you to access a
143// control panel or something. Unfortunately this conflicts with the
144// standard location for the Moodle admin pages. You can fix this by
145// renaming the admin directory in your installation, and putting that
6077020a 146// new name here. eg "moodleadmin". This will fix admin links in Moodle.
