Tutorial for installing moodle in a free hosting server.

Needed:

-Download standard moodle package: http://download.moodle.org/

-Sign up in a free hosting sever:
Suggested: http://www.000webhost.com/362917.html

-FTP client for upload file to our hosting server.
Suggested: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS AND IMAGES

-DOWNLOAD standard moodle package in: http://download.moodle.org/

Look at image and make sure that is standard package and
in this case the last version.

-DOWNLOAD FTP Client: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php

-SIGN UP in free hosting server like:

http://www.000webhost.com/362917.html

Fill all fields marked.
Where is the arrow will be the name of your subdomain (your website).

-CREATE a database on our remote server:

Access to our Control Panel (CPanel To Go)

Access MySql

Fill data database.
Example:

MySQL database name:	a5238958_moodle
MySQL user name:	a5238958_admin
Password for MySQL user:
Enter password again:

-Unzip standard moodle package and upload it to our server.

When you unzip the folder will remain "moodle".We need to get this folder in our server in the folder "public_html" using Filezilla.

You must create a folder called "moodledata" on our server in the same directory in which this "public_html" with 777 permissions.

For permission make right click on the folder, file permissions ... Numerical Value: 777

-Moodle once uploaded to the server, start the installation.Let our web browser and type the page of the subdomain.
In my case for this example: http://testmoodle.site50.net/
Once in our subdomain click on the moodle folder.

Then choose the installation language, in our case Spanish (international).

The next step verifies that your server meets the requirements demanded moodle,in the case of http://www.000webhost.com/362917.html should comply with all OK.

Then ask the routes where it should be installed moodle.In the case of this installation are:

Dirección Web	http://testmoodle.site50.net/moodle
Directorio Moodle	/home/a4327158/public_html/moodle
Directorio de Datos	/home/a4327158/moodledata

If you dont' want to appear default.php, you have to upload files from moodle folder directly to the public_html folder so installation will be in a higher level.
Then the route would look like:

Dirección Web	http://testmoodle.site50.net
Directorio Moodle	/home/a4327158/public_html/
Directorio de Datos	/home/a4327158/moodledata

The next step is to configure the database that we have created previously.
You must enter the data of the database we have created earlier.

There is now only going to confirm that the tables are being created.
You have to be confirming a few pages.
If we get this image;

Just do what we ask, we create a file, make sure config.php is called (we can make sure once we are in the Filezilla and want to upload our files to the server) and we put those lines in the file.Then upload it to our server, in our case in the / moodle.
We continue to confirm the configuration pages database.Tables are being created to store all data.

Recommendations:
-Wait until the page is loaded completely and leave the button to continue.
-If for some reason get any errors while creating the tables
go to phpMyAdmin and delete everything and start to create the tables again.

IF ANY ERROR SUCCEED WHILE CREATING TABLES FOLLOW THESE STEPS.
IF ALL HAS BEEN PROPERLY SEE BELOW TO GO TO THE LAST STEP.

How to erase everything?
Go to:

Then enter in the administration of our database:

Then select all tables and select the option DROP (delete):

Finally confirm you want to remove:

Once deleted everything would recharge the address in the browser to go back to confirming all.

CONTINUES HERE.
To reach the last step, set the administrator account:

Only need to enter the data it asks.

END OF TUTORIAL.
