You also have to make sure it is writable by the correct user. For example, with Centos it needs to be apache, and with Ubuntu it needs to be www-data. On more than one occasion I have gone into the files as root and run into the same problem, usually when I manually installed a plugin.
I set it to apache on RHEL 7.3 server. Permissions look good, but I have no idea why I am getting error.
On both moodle and moodledata folders??
Hi Syed,
it could be SELinux if still enabled.
If yes, you should also apply the proper context to you moodledata folder:
# SELinux - Allow httpd to read/write to the moodledata directory
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/moodledata(/.*)?"
restorecon -R /var/www/moodledata

Besides, keep care of properly setting user permissions even when configuring the Moodle cron: https://docs.moodle.org/34/en/Cron#Finding_the_right_place_to_put_the_command
