As Tracey says it all dependce on what system you got and what access you have to change things.. If you rent a webspace you might not have access to put this folder outside of the website, but it works to have the folder under your webspace too, just a little less secure but you still would need set the permissions on the folder..
Also don't forget to put the correct path to this folder in your config file.

Thank you Tracey and Patrik.
The problem was on my computer!!
The problem was just the directory "moodledata\1"  that it was not created; and the path in config.php.
Now it works well
Thakyou again

Hi All,

I need your help .. I am receiving the same erro message (write access error to the moodle data file), but I am using Yahoo hosting.

I don't have access to the C drive, so do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Ahmed

Hello,

Can't we set the path of moodledata directory in the config.php file '/home/user/public_html/moodledata' and create the directory there?

I think it should work. Isn't it?

No, you should create the folder yourself, and chown it to belong to the web server. That way is more secure.
