Installation and server related problems

Hey,

I'm using Moodle 2.9.3. when I try to install the h5p plugin, it checks it but does not pass verification. The error message write access check /var/www/moodle/mod is displayed. Screenshot below. What could be the reason for this?

Hi MarKo67,

You should be able to isolate the issue by checking the following:

  1. PHP errors
  2. Enable Moodle debug mode

Thank you for your help
It turned out that the problem was with the server settings. It had no option to save to directories and subfolders, so the plugin could not be installed. Changing the server settings to:
chown -R www-data: www-data directory_name
The server was running Linux.
Thanks again for your help - thread to close.
