Moodle packages for Mac OS X
These packages contain Moodle plus all the other software needed to make it run: Apache, MySQL and PHP.
The downloads were built by Ralf Krause using the distributions of XAMPP and MAMP. It is almost trivial to install with a nice little control application. Also, they include all the CVS directories, and a special CVS update script, so it's easy to update your Moodle scripts without needing to download the whole package again and without reinstalling all your courses. All distributed pachages work with Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6.
Moodle4Mac is designed for developing and testing locally on an Apple computer. You need to make it more secure if you will open Moodle4Mac for an intranet or for the internet. Please remember this fact! For your better information you should look into the package documentation.
If you're looking for a Mac Server installation then you should read the step by step installation on a Mac OS X 10.5 Server.
Moodle4Mac and XAMPP
The XAMPP packages contain XAMPP version 1.7.2a and are much smaller
than the others with MAMP. For more information and help about XAMPP
please look at the web page of Apache Friends.
Moodle4Mac and MAMP
Sorry but the MAMP packages are rather big! The MAMP version of the
packages is 1.8.4. More information and help for MAMP could be found on
the web page of MAMP.
