I'm currently doing a test run of an upgrade from 1.9 to 2.0 and am getting the following problem;
Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks.
Hi Mitch,
check the R/W permissions of E:\moodledata , it looks like Moodle is not able to write that file: during the 1.9->2.x upgrade most of the files will be converted into the new Virtual File System where physical files will be stored using their hash and the database will be used to store the match between the file name and the SHA1 hash (the position in the filedir folder is derived directly from the hash, more details in Files API).
HTH,
Matteo
There's actually no file in the folder in e1\1f to write to. I did make a copy of the server and had problems copying over a few files due to issues with filename length. That means a few files will be missing. Could that be a deciding issue?
