MoodleZope
Goal
To run moodle (http://moodle.org/) and zope2.7 (http://www.zope.org/) on port 80 of our school computer science web server (http://linus.yhspatriot.net). We are behind a firewall with only port 80 open, so I needed to setup virtual hosting with apache2 to make this work. I wanted linus.yhspatriot.net to point to a zope2.7 instance, and moodle.yhspatriot.net to point to a moodle instance. I found it convenient to have mysql.yhspatriot.net point to mysql-admin as well.
Setting up the server
- install ubuntu 5.04 server.
edit /etc/network/interfaces for static ip address by changing the primary interface to:
# The primary network interface iface eth0 inet static address 158.59.195.113 netmask 255.255.252.0 gateway 158.59.192.1
edit /etc/apt/sources.list removing cdrom source at top and uncommenting universe sources.
do the apt-get dance (apt-get update and apt-get upgrade).
- install the following using apt-get:
- ssh
- apache2
- mysql-server
- phpmyadmin
Configuring Apache Modules
- As root, run the following:
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf
Repeat with proxy_connect.load and proxy.load
Installing moodle
Installing zope2.7
Configuring virtual hosts
Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, adding a NameVirtualHost line, so that the last three lines of the file look like this:
# Include the virtual host configurations NameVirtualHost 158.59.195.113:80 Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]*
- Create a file named azi.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available with the following:
