Getting started after deploying Moodle¶

A notification will be sent to the e-mail specified during registration that the server is ready for work after paying for the order. It will contain the IP address of the VPS, as well as the login and password for the connection. Clients of our company manage the hardware in the server`s and API control panel - Invapi.

You can find the authorization data either in the Info >> Tags tab of the server control panel or in the email that was sent.

• Link to access the Moodle dashboard with a web interface: in the webpanel tag.
• Login and Password: Sent to your email address after the server is ready for use following software deployment.

Administrator Account Setup¶

After first login to the panel, we strongly recommend performing the basic settings for the Administrator user to ensure security and prevent loss of any information. 1. Go to the Administrator Profile – in the opened window click on the profile and select the Profile menu

1. You will be redirected to the Admin User tab. This is the standard page for any user, containing information about their settings and activity. Click Edit profile

1. Now you can edit the Administrator information – provide current profile details, and also change the password.

Pay special attention to the parameters marked with red flags – change them to current ones.

After making any changes, click the Update Profile button at the bottom of the page. For more information on the basic settings of Moodle, see the documentation of the developers.
