Moodle 2.0

Chapter 2
Preferably, you will put the data directory somewhere that is not accessible over the
Web. For example, on my hosting service, anything put into the directory /public_
html is served over the Web. Anything outside of that directory cannot be seen over
the Web.
You should check with your hosting service's technical support group to see if you
can create a directory that is not accessible via the Web.
On your server, create a directory in which to hold the Moodle
data. This can be a directory outside of the Moodle directory, or a
subdirectory of the Moodle directory.
