Install Apache
Obviously, in order to serve our Moodle, we need a web server. we are going to install Apache as our web server:
apt-get install apache2
After the installation process is finished, you have to start and enable the Apache service with following commands:
systemctl enable apache2
systemctl start apache2
for setting the correct DocumentRoot, open your Apache configuration file with the command below:
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Find the line that refers to “DocumentRoot” and change it like below:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/moodle/"
Then restart Apache service to take effect:
systemctl restart apache2
Install and configure MariaDB
Execute the following command to install MariaDB and its service:
apt-get install mariadb-server
Start and enable the service:
systemctl start mysql
systemctl enable mysql
Configure MariaDB
In order to get your MariaDB to be compatible with Moodle, you need to enable “InnoDB” engine.
Open MariaDB configuration file with your text editor:
nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf
Add the following lines at the very end of the file:
[client]
default-character-set = utf8mb4
[mysqld]
innodb_file_format = Barracuda
innodb_file_per_table = 1
innodb_large_prefix
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
skip-character-set-client-handshake
[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4
Then save and exit.
Restart MariaDB service to take effect:
systemctl restart mysql
Create Database and User for Moodle

Log in to your MariaDB as root user with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Issue the following command to create a database (replace the red parts with your own values):
> create database moodle;
