          Description

          Installing Moodle and Moodle doesnt currently have write permission to the data directory. I get the following php notice displayed.

          Notice: Undefined variable: a in /home/andrew/Desktop/review/moodle/install.php on line 320
          Call Stack

          1. Time Memory Function Location
            1 0.0021 443200 {main}

            ( ) ../install.php:0

          Under the data directory text box is the following message:
          Data directory ({$a->dataroot}) cannot be created by the installer.

          The $a isnt being substituted.

            This is fixed and avilable from the LUNS public repository:
