Installing the Moodle Question Type is designed to be easy. Assuming you already have the prerequisites this should take about 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- Moodle 1.9 -- http://moodle.org
- PHP5 -- Depending on your system there are many simple ways to install PHP.
- PHP soap extensions -- Can be installed as a package out of debian or out of an rpm, or flagged when PHP is built from source.
- WeBWorK Question Server [optional] -- Find installation instructions here[1].
Installation
To start you should have administrator access to the Moodle site.
1. Check out a copy of the WebWorK Moodle Question Type by running the following from a terminal:
svn co http://question2.webwork.rochester.edu/svn/wwmqt/trunk wwmqt
This will place a folder named wwmqt in your current working directory.
2. Move or copy the webwork directory from wwmqt/moodle/question/type/ into yourmoodle/question/type/ on your moodle server. You should now have a directory yourmoodle/question/type/webwork.
3. (Optional) Edit the config.php file in yourmoodle/question/type/webwork. The second part of the define statement should point to your own server where the WeBWorK Question Server is installed. For example: http://myserver.edu/problemserver_files/WSDL.wsdl.
4. Login to the Moodle site and click on Notifications in the Site Administration panel on the left. The database tables should now be created.
Thats it your done! Everything can be tested by trying to load and preview a WeBWorK question.
Look at the Moodle Question Type FAQ if you have any questions.
