v2 pv2: ERROR Fatal: $CFG->dataroot is not configured properly! Exiting

We have changed out testing environment to a WIn2008R2 Server with the IIS 

Now we get the error-message:  Fatal: $CFG->dataroot is not configured properly! Exiting

Extract of our config.php:

$CFG->dataroot  = 'C:\\www\\edv\\Moodle2\\moodledata';

The "real" windows-path: C:\www\edv\Moodle2\moodledata

I tried single-backslahes in the dataroot-string - the result was the same. But the double-backslash was suggested from moodle itself creating the config.php

User "Everbody" has complete access to the path!

Whatelse can be the solution?

the double slash is to escape the slash for the database to store it.

you may need a trailing slash on the path:

moodledata\\

Thx for your answer, but I tried all the possibilities with or without trailing slashes, double oder singleslash yet. Nothing seems to work.

Since Moodle itseld writes the path in the config.php WITHOUT the trailing slashes I don't think that they are absolutely essential.

I have now included the debug-code


@error_reporting(1023);  // NOT FOR PRODUCTION SERVERS!
$CFG->debug = 38911;
$CFG->debugdisplay = true;

in my config.php but I always get only one line back:

Fatal: $CFG->dataroot is not configured properly! Exiting.

Hi,
the question is: does the directory exist, is it writeable for the web server?

Please try to use the latest cvs version or nightly package, the error messages there were improved a bit.

Heyhey,

Is there a solution, yet?

I'm having the same problem (under same conditions) and it only occurs in functions and classes!

Thus:

<?php
include_once "pathtoconfig/config.php";

function test() {
global $CFG;
var_dump($CFG);
}

test();
?>

Works fine. But the error occurs with:

<?php
function test() {
include_once "pathtoconfig/config.php";

global $CFG;
var_dump($CFG);
}

test();
?>

Fatal error: $CFG->dataroot is not specified in config.php! Exiting.

I'm experimenting with the zend_amf for flash in moodle 2.0 and I'm not able to get access to globals in flash. I guess this problems are connected.

I solved this error with this way

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle';
$CFG->dataroot = 'C:\\wamp\\moodledata';

My testing shows the account running moodle needs to have atleast modify access all the way though the entire path.

I solved this error by providing the absolute path to the moodledata directory on the host server.

$CFG->dataroot  = '/customers/154343347/mywebsite/moodledata';

'mywebsite' directory contains moodle installation. and 'moodledata' is a sub directory within moodle installation. It is set with recursive permissions 755 for itself and all files and directories under it.

$CFG->directorypermissions = 0775;

In case you need to find the absolute path to a script or a directory on your server, use a simple php script using following syntax.

<?php
$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
echo "<p>Full path to this dir: " . $dir . "</p>";
?>


Put the new file anywhere in the web-accessible directory on your server,
then just access that file from your favourite web-browser – and you’ll have the absolute path shown to you.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this kind of coding. I badly need help about dataroot

I have setup the site into a windows 2003 server. The site is doing good when I am loading it on the server it self but if will access the site in another PC with the same network some other content is not working. Specifically the problem is the dataroot. The directory loaded in the site is the directory of the PC who is accessing it and not the directory of the server.
I would really appreciate it if someone here will help. Thanks!

Its simple:

change path in config.php.

Worked for me.
