Does anyone know if it is possible to put your MoodleData folder on a mapped network drive, (shared from another windows machine). We've tried it but keep getting a message repeated 3 times at the top of out Moodle site saying "Error: you need to create the directory Y:\MoodleData with web server write access". We've managed to rule out permissions. It seems that Moodle simply won't look at mapped network drives on a windows setup.

Any help, (even if it's just telling me that it definitely won't work), would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Running Moodle 1.7 on Windows 2003sp1, IIS 6, MS SQL 2005 and PHP 5.2, (from PHP.net).  We've got it all up and running and it works like a dream until we import all our courses...  We have 2000+ courses which come under 24 course categories.

The problem that we have is the more courses we import, (we import a bit at a time), the slower Moodle gets.  Eventually Moodle runs so slow that it appears to time out and doesn't show the courses that the user is a member of.

Any suggestions or ideas would be most appreciated.
