'moodledata' : can't find it ?

Moodle 3.9.13

Hi, I maintain the two installations above. Unfortunately, it was not me who installed them both.

Searching for 'moodledata' I found only a 'moodle_data' folder.

How can I be sure it is the directory with all users' data ?

Many thanks indeed.

Your config.php file should tell you the name of your moodledata folder and where it can be found. For example, in my config.php file, the relevant line shows:

$CFG->dataroot = '/Applications/MAMP/data/moodledata3';

So in this example, one would see that I am running MAMP, the moodledata folder is called "moodledata3" and it is located in the folder "/Applications/MAMP/data/".

So, see what your $CFG->dataroot equals.

Great this is the line:
$CFG->dataroot = '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/private/moodle_data';
so that was right.
Thanks indeed.
