[Server-devel] EduBlog Beta Server

[Tony Pearson]

Greg,
The EduBlog beta server is up and running.  I created a "home page" here: 

http://edublog.venango.org/

I used some royalty-free icons from iStockPhoto. 

On the upper left, I have the following links
Launch Moodle with EduBlog   --> links to http://edublog.venango.org/
EduBlog/moodle
Learn more about Educational Blogger Project  --> links to 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_Blogger_Porject

On right center, I display the current release levels:
Server Details:
XS-163 (2.6.23.1-21.fc7) 
Apache 2.2.6
PHP 5.2.4
PostgreSQL 8.2.5
Moodle 1.9.1+ More info  --> links to "phpinfo.php" which gives out all 
the PHP values

On the bottom right, I have:
Moodle Administration   -->  links to http://edublog.venango.org/
EduBlog/moodle/admin

Item 1:
Currently, I am the only admin, and it is in "manual accounts" mode, so 
only the eight of us on the EduBlog team have moodle accounts created for 
us.  I could not figure out how to change this to "email 
self-registration" and not sure at this stage if we want to open it up for 
others?  I have registered the site with moodle.org and reCaptcha, so we 
have the private/public keys ready for self-registration if you know how 
to activate that.  Please advise.

Item 2:
The moodle screens are sparese "text only" and do not seem to be using any 
css style sheets or graphics.  I am not sure if this is from Tarun's 
customization of 1.9.1+ version, or this is the new look of Moodle, or if 
something is wrong with Moodle's interaction with PostgreSQL.  If 
PostgreSQL is the problem we can switch over to MySQL.

Item 3:
If you want the "main page" to point to some of Tarun's mock-up screens, 
we can certainly do that.

Item 4:
I have cron.php running every 10 minutes.

Thanks
Tony Pearson
