can't make a folder

can't make a folder

I have chosen Topics for my course format.
Under the various topics, I have "displayed a directory"
Clicking on any directory allows me to add files which belong there.

at this point, I can delete/archives files
OR
upload further files
OR
Make a folder

when I try to make a folder, I get the following message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /moodle/files/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 not found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument t o handle this request.

How do I make folders so that when I add new files under topics, the files appear within appropriately named folders?

I am guessing, but the most likely reason for this is that Moodle file files/index.php is missing. Less likely is that the permissions for that (and probably other) file(s) is incorrect and the web server cannot read it.

Are you sure that all Moodle files are correctly installed and have their permissions set so that the web server user can read them?

Will check shortly about the files/index.php
This file is there and appears to be OK.

How do you set permissions?

A suggestion could be:

/moodle/files/index.php is not a right path

it might be: home/myusername/moodle/files/index.php

In which file can I modify this path???

Is this a bug?

My moodle version is 1.5

Tha paths are set in config.php. Check there to make sure they are right.

Is this an upgrade from a 1.4 version Moodle? If so, was that working?

If this is your first Moodle install, you'd be better off sticking with the latest stable release (1.4.5).

1.5 is not ready for use yet and may have all kinds of bugs depending on when you downloaded it.

I noticed that I have the same problem also with the last stable version of Moodle

Paths in config.php are all ok...

Permissions seem to be all "readable"....

I really don't know how to solve...

Next step:

Some files in Moodledata/sessions directory have not readable permissions and I'm not able to change them!!! I think I have to erase them.

What happens If I erase them???

Could be these session files permission that gave me that errors???
