Initial set up for Moodle
When installing Moodle 2.3.2, the installation is done through the browser by visiting the site where the Moodle was uploaded. For example, if Moodle is being installed on a subdomain or subfolder the url will look similar to the following.
SubFolder
https://example.com/moodle
Subdomain
https://moodle.example.com

When visiting for the first time, the Choose a Language screen will show at first. Select the required language and click Next.
4.2. Confirm Paths

The next screen will prompt you to Confirm the installation paths for the Moodle installation. The Web Address and the Moodle directory should be set by the install script by default. The Data Directory Will be set as well; except it can be changed if you want the installation in a different directory location on your server. Leave the default paths and click Next.
4.3. Choose Database Driver

The database driver is what your server will use to connect to the database. On Linux/cPanel servers, the setting required is Improved MySQL (native/mysqli). Select Improved MySQL (native/mysqli) then click “Next”. If the server the Moodle is installed on is not Linux/cPanel, then an inquiry will need to be sent to the hosting company to find which database is supported.
4.4. Database Settings

Use the Database settings that were set on step 3 Create the Database for the Installation. Enter the database name, username, and password. Leave the table prefix as is as this is set for the database table names. Leave the Unix Socket setting unchecked and click Next.
4.5. Copyright Notice

This page is for accepting the General Public License. Select Continue to go to the next install screen.
4.6. Server Checks

The Server checks page is important as it will examine the server for configuration requirements. Required server configuration settings for Moodle to work will highlight in red. Most of these configuration changes can be set it the php.ini. For more information on setting php.ini values please see the “How to update your local php settings“.
The Yellow highlighted configuration settings are Warnings and Moodle can be installed if they are simple Warnings. If for whatever reason the Red settings cannot be changed, the web hosting company will need to look at the server to fix these. When the Server Checks are at an acceptable level click Continue.
4.7. Server Installation

After the Continue button is clicked on the Server Checks Screen, the install script will show a list of tables that are set up for the database. Each should say Success in green font.
When Finished Click Continue. The Administration set up screen will load for setting up the main administrator account. Once completed setting the administrator, click Update Profile.

This will load the New Settings – Front Page settings page. Fill out the Full Site Name, Short name for the site, Front Page Description, and the Self Registration. These settings are not terribly critical as they can always be updated through the Moodle administrator backend after installation.
