Data directory - data location is not secure

Data directory - data location is not secure

Hi,

I am trying to install the newest version of moodle in my hosting server. Because this is hosted place, all what I can is to locate the data users directory in my moodle folder. I have read documentation and I know that if I choose this option I need create special .htaccess and locate it in my data users directory.

I have done it (I have copied content of the file from the documentation). Unfortunately I still get the instalator's response: "Dataroot location is not secure".


Could anyone help me?


Thank you in advance

Witold

Is it stopping the installer or just a warning?

Hi Emma,


Thank you for your question. It stopped the installation process, I mean I can't go to the next screen.

You probably don't want to hear this.  Seek out a different hosting company.

Many of the $5/month hosting companies provide the ability to move your moodledata folder up, and out of your public Internet folder.

Thanks for your opinion. Unfortunately it is not an option.
