Sakai Administrator's Guide (in sections)

This version of the Sakai Administrator's Guide is presented in sections for ease of browsing and searching online. If you like, you can also view the guide on a single page, which is useful for printing and exporting a PDF version of the guide for offline use.

Introduction

This document covers the basics involved in moving from limited exploration of Sakai to something that can be used reliably by a larger group of users. The document will take as a given a working Sakai installation that uses the out of the box defaults.

This document assumes you have already been able to successfully install Sakai following either the Sakai 2.4 Installation Guide or the Development Environment Walkthrough (or both). It is also recommended that you take a moment to familiarize yourself with using the application as outlined in the "Using the Software" section of the release notes.

If you get stuck during the installation or configuration process, please start by searching this site and/or an archive of the sakai-dev list (such as gmane). If all else fails, join the sakai-dev mailing list on collab and ask for help. For more information, see the "Joining the Community" section of this document.
