Error in Confirm path

Question

I have a question about the installation of Moodle in Linux.

I did all things which are given in tutorial but got an error in the localhost/moodle.

I select a language then for confirming path, I got error " Parent directory (/var/www) is not writeable. Data directory (/var/www/moodledata) cannot be created by the installer".

How can I solve it?

Sincerely

Answers:

You can manually create moodledata folder:

mkdir /var/www/moodledata

chmod 0777 /var/www/moodledata

or give write permission to /var/www folder temporarily:

chmod 0777 /var/www/

and then reset it to 755

Check out official Moodle doc:

https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/Installing_Moodle

Delete the manually created 'moodledata' folder once and they try again please.

The above command worked, right?

Let me know if u have any further doubts.

I delete manually and try this command 'sudo chmod 0777 /var/www/'

and create folder 'moodledata.

but the same error I got again 'Data directory (/var/www/moodledata) cannot be created by the installer.'

For database setting I got following error.

Error: Database connection failed

It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.

The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php

Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'moodle'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /var/www/html/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 79

Please send me proper path.

Do you correctly remember the password?

If not, then try logging into mysql as a 'root' user and then either you can reset the password for the user 'moodle' and retry granting proper permissions to user 'moodle'.

You can run the command "CREATE DATABASE moodle DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;" only after logging into mysql.

Also, are you using phpmyadmin? If not, they you can try that, it has an easy to use interface.
