command line install problem

Hello

I am testing this for the first time. I tried the command line interface route.

my system is a fedora 5 test box. I followed the screen options and entered the values requested. But here is what I got:

Setup is now ready to begin installing BitNami Moodle Stack on your computer.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]: Y

I pressed Enter and I got my root prompt.

Tried to start the environment:

Apparently mysql and apache can not be started.

Please advise.

Hi,

We have just released a new BitNami Moodle Stack with this issue fixed. Also we have upgraded the stack to install Moodle 1.8.4.

Hi,

Can you try the latest version? It should be work.

You may need to execute ‘setenforce 0’ to disable SELinux before running the intaller (you can enable it again once the installation finishes).

Please let me know if finally you get Moodle working :)

Best regards,

Victoria

Hi Voctoria,

Little has changed with bitnami-moodle-1.8.4-1-linux-installer.bin version except for the error number.

Hi,

I’m not able to reproduce this error with the latest version. I’ve tested it in a Fedora Core 7 but I’ll try to get a Fedora 4.

Cheers,

Victoria.
