Usage
Begin with reading the Moodle book
- Authentication
Email based self registration is the default method.
To authenticate SME users against moodle, configure moodle to use POP3.
With regular POP3, port 110, 127.0.0.1 in Moodle and "allow private" in SME server-manager > Email.
Also seems to work with POP3cert port 995 in Moodle and "allow private and public" in SME server manager > Email.
- Privileged Users
Assign new moodle system administrators, course creators and teachers.
- Courses
Add course categories before adding courses. Then assign a teacher to a course.
- Students
The default is for students to create their own account and join courses themselves.
Uninstallation
To remove this package issue the following command on the SME Server shell:
rpm -e moodle smeserver-moodle
To remove mysql database and user, both are moodle, see MySQL#Remove a database and MySQL#Remove a user. There is no need to reboot.
Options
- You can fine tune access to moodle with DB settings.
For details have a look at Web Application RPM#New DB settings.

To allow "normal" public access to Moodle do the following
config setprop moodle PublicAccess global expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf sv h /service/httpd-e-smith
