cd Downloads/

sudo unzip moodle-4.5.3.zip -d /var/www/html/

This extracts all the Moodle files into the web server directory.

sudo mkdir /var/www/moodledata

So run: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/moodledata

So run: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/moodle

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/moodle

So run the following 2 commands one after the other.

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/moodledata

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/moodle

So run: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/php/sessions

cd /var/www/html/moodle

sudo cp config-dist.php config.php

So type: sudo gedit config.php

<?php // Moodle configuration file

$CFG->dbtype = 'mariadb'; $CFG->dblibrary = 'native'; $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; $CFG->dbname = 'moodledb'; $CFG->dbuser = 'moodleuser'; $CFG->dbpass = 'moodle123'; $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; $CFG->dboptions = array();

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost'; $CFG->dataroot = '/var/www/moodledata'; $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Leave if not available $CFG->admin = 'admin';

$CFG->directorypermissions = 02777;

sudo gedit /etc/nginx/sites-available/moodle

server { listen 80; server_name localhost; root /var/www/html/moodle;

index index.php index.html index.htm;

access_log /var/log/nginx/moodle_access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/moodle_error.log;

location / {

   	try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

}

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {

   	fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
   	include fastcgi_params;
   	fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
   	fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
   	fastcgi_index index.php;
   	fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;

}

location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg)$ {

   	try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string;
   	expires max;
   	log_not_found off;

} }

So run: sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/moodle /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

“If you encounter port conflicts with the default site, change the default port in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default”.

So run: sudo nginx -t

sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

After this, we will setup the Moodle site.
