Oy.
So I am trying to install moodle to my site so I can admin my classes this fall. I get to the database question: Data Directory: You need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible directly via the web.....and I have no idea how to find this info with my web host. Is this something I need to setup?
got past that to a page that spits this back at me....over and over....
