Hello all;
I am going to install moodle on a CentOs VM and I want to put moodledata on a nas storage on network that can be access by an IP
Will I install moodle locally then change it into config.php? what can I write into it for that?
Or will I install it directly and put moodledata on nas storage? and how can I do that?
Thanks in advance
Suggestion ...
On a typical CentOS 7 code directory is in /var/www/html/ (all the moodle code in here).
moodledata is typically in /var/www/ ... a directory that apache user/server already knows about.
In moodledata, **leave all but filedir** in moodledata ... those directories are muc,localcache,cache, sessions, etc directories ... why? Speed ... apache/php talking to moodle code which accesses directories in moodledata is fastest when accessed by localhost ... ie, same server.
The filedir directory in web server's moodledata is a mount point to the NAS @ nasserver/moodle/moodledata/filedir.
If you run automated backups might also make another mount point /var/www/autobackups that goes to the NAS. Course backups could also have a directory of it's own that could be yet another mount point.
The files uploaded to a moodle is in filedir.
The following might help:

Dear Ken,
thaks for sharing, I'm going to follow your suggestions, but I'm wandering if there would be some permission/ownership issues in reading/writing from/to a remote NAS mounted with cifs.
I'm not a moodle expert, but I think taht the moodledata folder has to be owned by the www-data (or OS-equivalent user) linux user.
Many thanks in advance for any shared thought.
