Chamilo LMS is an open-source e-learning and collaboration platform that allows users to create and deliver online courses, quizzes, and resources. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps on how to install Chamilo LMS on Windows 10.
Before we dive into the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements on your machine:
The first step is to download the latest version of Chamilo LMS from the official website (https://chamilo.org/). You can either download the zip file or clone the repository from Github.
After downloading Chamilo LMS, extract the zip file to your preferred location.
Next, you need to configure Apache to serve Chamilo LMS. Open the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) located in the Apache installation folder (usually C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf) and add the following lines at the end of the file:
DocumentRoot "C:/path/to/chamilo-lms-folder"
<Directory "C:/path/to/chamilo-lms-folder">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Note: Replace "C:/path/to/chamilo-lms-folder" with the actual path to the extracted Chamilo LMS folder.
Save the changes and restart Apache for the changes to take effect.
Before you can install Chamilo LMS, you need to create a database for it. Open the MySQL command prompt or phpMyAdmin and execute the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE chamilo_lms;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chamilo_lms.* TO 'your_username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Note: Replace "your_username" and "your_password" with your desired MySQL username and password.
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/chamilo-lms-folder/ (replace "chamilo-lms-folder" with the actual folder name). You should see the Chamilo LMS installer page.
Follow the on-screen instructions and provide the required information such as database name, MySQL username, and password.
Once the installation is complete, you should see the Chamilo LMS login page.
