Hi
We had this same error message recently - it was because the permissions to the database had not been set/reset correctly after an upgrade, worked fine again after permissions were amended
regards
Karen

Karen,

Can you be more specific? User permissions, access to MySQL or something in a table?

Thanks!

Hi Jim

Jen here, Karen and I work together.

Firstly can I ask what platform you have your moodle on.

The problem is permissions to the data dir of your moodle installation.

You have to give your webservice access to the files. We set our permissions as follows

chown -R www-data.www-data /where ever you hold your moodle data

Then restart apache2 and try again.

Hope this helps.

Jen
