[Solved] Issues with Moodle Installation

Hi to everyone:

I'm trying to install Moodle 1.9.5 into one Arch Linux server, but I have one problem with the installation; the requeriments checking is ok, after the program shows one screen with data below:

Please confirm the locations of this Moodle installation

Web Address: Specify the full web address where Moodle will be accessed. If your web site is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one that your students would use. Do not include a trailing slash.

Moodle Directory: Specify the full directory path to this installation Make sure the upper/lower case is correct.

Data Directory: You need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This directory must be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it must not be accessible directly via the web.

I do entry the data and when I pulse the next button, the program shows this:

The 'Data Directory' you specified could not be found or created. Either correct the path or create that directory manually. yikes

The directory is /srv/moodledata with http owner ... what's wrong ? hmm

Anyone with the same issue ... anyone knows how fix it ? neutral

Re: [Solved] Issues with Moodle Installation

I think you have to add this information to
/var/www/config.php :

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://www.mymoodle.com/moodle';
$CFG->dirroot   = '/var/www/moodle';
$CFG->dataroot  = '/var/moodledata';
$CFG->admin     = 'admin';

Re: [Solved] Issues with Moodle Installation

Hi to everyone:

I did solve myself and it's simple:

[root@researchlinux ~]#mkdir /srv/moodledata/

[root@researchlinux ~]# chown -R http.http /srv/moodledata/

And all it continues working fine smile

Thanks to DonVla for his interest ... until the next! wink

Re: [Solved] Issues with Moodle Installation

Hi

I still have issues installing Moodle - did the same as you and still get the same error.  There is also a GD warning on the previous screen but I can see from the phpinfo that GD is installed.  How did you go about installing Moodle?
