Moodle: Failed write to disk problem

"Failed to write file to disk"


I've been experience the same problem in wordpress before. 
It was caused by temp folder full. So user failed to upload any files to the system.


Solution:

1. Check your temp folder in moodle
   Eg: /mnt/data/moodle/moodledata/temp/backup/
2. Delete the temp content inside this folder
3. Try upload file to system
4. Upload function should be ok by now.

Good luck!

3. Edit the page
4. Go to English first  > Menu Settings  > Thick Provide a menu link
5. Set  Menu link title: Home    and   Save.

Wordpress - Permalink Problem

Salam,

I've just set up WordPress on my personal FreeBSD server, and now I'm trying to configure permalinks to this format:
/%category%/%postname%

This is not working. I've followed those instructions as well as I can, but it's still not working.

In httpd.conf:


Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Then,I chmod'ed the .htaccess-file so WordPress could edit the file. The file is now containing this:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]


# END WordPress

After some reading and checking, I found out that my .htaccess-file is not being read! How to solve this?

From forum I read, he says that "You see AllowOverride None anywhere in your config files?"

So in my httpd.conf, I found it here:

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
# AllowOverride None
AllowOverride All

I comment the original setting, and set to AllowOverride All.
After restart apache, the permalinks now working like a charm.
Alhamdulillah..
