Opigno is an Open Source e-learning platform based on Drupal that allows you to manage your online training, and efficiently ensure that student, employee and partner skills remain up to date.

Opigno LMS is designed for Companies, Corporations and Universities, looking for an e-learning solution that is flexible and is easily scalable.

Here I am going to explain to you how to install Opigno LMS.

STEP-01

https://www.opigno.org/en/download

First, Download the Opigno LMS latest version as a zip file, for this purpose click the link which I mention above. You will get like this,

STEP-02

Go to C:\xampp\htdocs and create a new folder as you wish. I have created one folder as d6-lms

And unzip the downloaded Opigno zip file into d6-lms(the folder which you created into htdocs)

STEP-03

Start your Xampp server.

Then, go to localhost/phpmyadmin/ and set up the new database for your Opigno LMS site. Here I created my database as lms_db.

STEP-04

Then, Create a virtual host for your Opigno side. If you don’t have any idea about creating a virtual host please check my medium blog which I mention the link here,

https://medium.com/@ahamedthaajwer5528/create-virtual-host-for-apache-on-windows-10-by-using-xampp-8664b0427567

I have Created a virtual host for this Opigno site as (www.d6-lms.lk).

STEP-05

Now, You can navigate your site in a browser,

You will get like this.

1. Choose language.

Choose the language and continue with it.

2. Verify Requirements.

In this step, you will get a Private File System Error. To solve this,

First, you have to create a private folder into the file folder like this. (‘site/default/files’)

After that, you have to set the setting.php file (site/default/setting.php)

before setup the setting.php,

After setup the setting.php file,

$settings[‘file_private_path’] = ‘sites/default/files/private’;

After finish, these all go to the bottom of the verify requirements page and click try again.

If you still on the same page then click continue anyway

Now you will move to the next step to setup database.

3. Setup database.

We already created a database as lms_db using php/myadmin, and I didn't set any user name or password for that database, that's why I give username as root and password is empty

Now, click save and continue.
