Hi there,
I'm getting this error when students are trying to upload documents to our online learning system.
I'm guessing it's a permissions error, but it's only just started happening, and we've been using this system for 1yr+ with no challenges.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Hi Kerry,
You'll need to get a sysadmin to check the permissions on the $CFG->dataroot directory - something must have changed there.
The webserver user (www-data or apache on most Linux servers, IUSR_xxx on Windows servers) needs to have write permissions in every folder under the dataroot.
It might be because of a file lock introduced in Moodle 2.5
"Cannot upload files in certain cloud hosting environments" - https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-43390
The above was mentioned in "Can not create local file pool file, please verify permissions in dataroot and available disk space" - https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-43160
