Question

i use moodle ( is a learning management system ), and this cms need to .htaccess
with his content . content of my .htaccess file is :

deny from all
AllowOverride None
Note: this file is broken intentionally, we do not want anybody to undo it in subdirectory!

but when i see my site i face this message :

You need to create the directory mdldata19 with web server write access

there is .htaccess in ‘mdldata19’ directory.
is better content for this file?

Answer 1

The missing directory probably has nothing to do with .htaccess, but rather Moodle requires a writable directory called mdldata19.

Create a directory mdldata19 whereever the documentation specifies it be created, and make it writable by the web server user. On Apache systems, this is usually a user called www-data, apache, httpd, or others. You would need to find out the user Apache is running under by looking for the following directive in httpd.conf:

User <apacheusername>
Group <apachegroupname>

Then change the directory’s group ownership to the Apache user and make it group-writable

chown yourusername:apachegroup mdldata19
chmod g+rwx mdldata19
