Moodle Install

[wardsidjame]

We are currently building a test Moodle platform and have come up on these two lines in the Moodedata instuctions

 

If your server supports ACL it is recommended to set following permissions, for example if your Apache server uses account www-data:

# chmod -R +a "www-data allow read,delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /path/to/moodledata

 

 

If you are planning to execute PHP scripts from the command line you should set the same permissions for the current user:

$ sudo chmod -R +a "`whoami` allow read,delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /path/to/moodledata

 

These are on the Linux instructions but they dont look correct for Ubuntu, does anyone know which instructions would be needed for Ubuntu?

Which instructions are you following?

 

for ubuntu

sudo chmod -R 775 /path/to/moodledata

and

sudo chown -R adminaccount:www-data /path/to/moodledata

 

should work for you.
