	Moodle requires ~~all of~~ its database tables created with UTF-8 ~~by default~~. ~~The solution is to~~ create a ~~brand~~ new database, click on ~~edit, and use~~ the '~~SQL~~' ~~option~~ in ~~phpMyAdmin to enter~~ in the ~~following~~ to ~~set~~ the ~~default character set for~~ the ~~database~~: '~~ALTER DATABASE `yourdatabasename` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE~~ utf8_general_ci;'		NOTE: Full installation instructions may be added later. This is just some helpful tips to get you started in installing Moodle.

			Moodle requires a few tweaks to your account before you can install it:

			== Changing your PHP Version==
			First, you'll need to ensure that you're running at least PHP 5.3 on your site. We have a page on how to [[select your PHP version]].

			== Changing your database language settings ==
			Next, Moodle requires its database tables to be created with UTF-8 support. To do this:
			# create a new database, as normal, and then click on the '''Edit Tables''' icon next to it.
			# in this new window, click the name of the database in the left column (next to the line that says '''information_schema''')
			# now, click the '''Operations''' tab at the top
			# One of the boxes will be labelled '''Collation:'''. Scroll through this list and find the option named '''utf8_general_ci'''. Select this and click the '''Go''' button.
			# You should see a notice at the top of the screen that says that '''Your SQL query has been executed successfully'''.
			# Close this window, and continue with the Moodle install.

New page

Moodle requires all of its database tables created with UTF-8 by default. The solution is to create a brand new database, click on edit, and use the 'SQL' option in phpMyAdmin to enter in the following to set the default character set for the database: 'ALTER DATABASE `yourdatabasename` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;'
