Hello I was able to get moodle to run from another server which means I am probably having permission problems on original server. I have everything up and running but have run into the error message when I am trying to create a quiz:

 

Warning: mkdir(/home2/dmcdonal/public_html/moodle/3) [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home2/dmcdonal/public_html/moodle/lib/moodlelib.php on line 773

ERROR: Could not find or create a directory (/home2/dmcdonal/public_html/moodle/3)


Warning: opendir(/home2/dmcdonal/public_html/moodle/3) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home2/dmcdonal/public_html/moodle/lib/moodlelib.php on line 829

Error: unable to read this directory! : /home2/dmcdonal/public_html/moodle/3

The directory you specify for dataroot in the config.php must be a directory that exists and is writeable by Moodle.

At the moment you've specified the main Moodle directory as the location to save data, which is not a good idea.

You need to create a directory somewhere else (eg /home2/dmcdonal/moodledata), make it writeable (eg chmod 707) and set up Moodle correspondingly:

$CFG->dataroot = "/home2/dmcdonal/moodledata";

Your system administrator should be able to help with this.
