Moodle on a VMWare Guest

If you experience problem with the hostname (though if your system was set up correctly with DHCP the hostname should resolve through the VMWare NAT network and nameservers) :

Change line in /usr/shared/moodle/config.php
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].'/moodle';

Otherwise you might also have to change from, for example, ubuntu.localdomain to ubuntu.local
