    Moodle is the most popular free PHP-based Learning Management Systems (LMS). To install it on your discountASP.NET hosting account, please follow the general instructions below:

    * Download the stable moodle package to your local machine from the moodle official site at http://download.moodle.org/

    * Unzip the archive to your local drive.

    * Connect to your site with your favorite FTP client and upload the content of the "moodle" directory to the server.

    * Create "App_Data" folder on the server in the root of your site if it does not exist yet. Moodle requires a folder that is not accessible directly from the browser. App_Data is the special ASP.NET folder that perfectly serves this purpose.

    * Visit your installation directory following by /install.php such as yourdomain.com/install.php and proceed with the installation instructions presented by installation wizard.

    * When prompted, in the "Data Directory" field enter the physical path to your App_Data folder such as "E:\web\YourPrimaryUser\App_Data".

    * On the next screen of installation wizard, please enter the connection parameters for your MySQL database. You can obtain the connection parameters by visiting your MySQL Database Manager at https://my.discountasp.net/mysql.aspx and clicking "manage" link next to your database.

    * When prompted, please check "unattended install" to automate the installation process.

    * After the application is installed, login to your site with 'admin', 'admin' as user name and password and change your password immediately on 'profile' tab.

    moodle has been added to our Web Application Gallery. If your account is hosted on IIS 7 platform, you can now install it in few clicks.
