Hello folks,

I am trying to install moodle on opalstack but no success.

ajinkya These are the steps that you can take to install Moodle 4.0:

Create a new shell user at https://my.opalstack.com/apps/. (In the rest of this example I'll use "shelluser" as the user name.)
Create a new Apache/PHP-CGI app https://my.opalstack.com/apps/. (I'll use "moodle" as the app name.)
Edit the new Apache/PHP-CGI to set its PHP version to 8.0.
Go to https://my.opalstack.com/domains/ and add the domain and site entries.
Go to https://my.opalstack.com/mariadb/ and create a new MariaDB database and user.
Get your shell user and MariaDB user passwords from https://my.opalstack.com/logs/.

# Make your moodle data directory.
# I'll use "moodledata" but it can be whatever you want.
# This has to be located outside of the apps directory.
mkdir ~/moodledata

# Get the moodle software.
# Change "moodle" at the end to match your own app name.
cd ~/apps
git clone -b MOODLE_400_STABLE git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git moodle

# Configure PHP and run the installer.
cd ~/apps/moodle
echo "max_input_vars = 5000" > .user.ini
export PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/etc/opt/remi/php80/php.d:$PWD
php80 $PWD/admin/cli/install.php

The installer will present you with a series of questions, answer as follows:
- Language: en
- Data directory permission: 2711
- Web address: the site URL from step 4 above.
- Data directory: /home/shelluser/moodledata (or whatever you used for the data directory in step 3 above)
- DB driver: mariadb
- DB host: hit enter
- DB name: your DB from step 5
- Table prefix: hit enter
- DB port: hit enter
- Unix socket: hit enter
- DB user: your DB user from step 5
- DB password: your DB password from step 6
- Full site name: whatever you want
- Short name for site: whatever you want
- Admin user info: whatever you want
- Upgrade key: leave empty
- Terms and conditions: y
After accepting the conditions, the installer will populate the DB and configure the installation.
When the installer is complete, you can visit the site you created in step 4 to log in and start using Moodle.
