Hi im new to moodle and i cant seem to setup moodle on my web host server.

It got stuck and says that:

The 'Data Directory' you specified could not be found or created. Either correct the path or create that directory manually.

I dont know what do to and how to solve this problem. If any one can help me please email me at hareem.haque@gmail.com

Hello Hareem,

It seems that the 'moodledata' directory has not been created.

Depending on your setup, you will need to create a directory called 'moodledata'. Usually it would be in a directory above the Moodle directory. For example, if you are using a unix based system, the directory will be something like this:

/home/myhome/public_html/moodledata

Where 'myhome' will be replaced with the the name of your account you are using on that computer.

Also, that directory will need to have universal write permissions for Moodle to access it.

If you can give us more details about your setup, perhaps we can help you more, especially the Operating System you are using and the directory that you are intending to install Moodle.
