I want to move moodle lms from local server to live server, I moved moodeldata to httpdocs and tired to figure out httpdocs directory path on shared Linux based Plesk server. I appreciate any one helps me!

I tried like this

$CFG->dataroot='\httpdocs\moodledata';

but the result is

Fatal error: $CFG->dataroot is not configured properly, directory does not exist or is not accessible! Exiting.

On Linux, they should be forward slashes

$CFG->dataroot = '/moodledata';

Also, its a really bad idea to put the data root in a web directory (httpdocs) that's publicly available - put the data root in a directory that's outside of the web root

If you are migrating, then you probably need to backup the old data root too

Thanks all for your help! And now I changed as

1. $CFG->dataroot ='/data/www/example.com/moodledata'; then
2. I moved moodledata from httpdocs to home-directory and it worked correctly.
