Config.php - datadir

[bhambooster]

I am having this same problem with configuring the datadir folder. i have setup the database etc.
When ever i login I get the "There is a problem with your dataDir. Check to make sure it exists and is writeable" error message. Following the example of the previous post, i created a subdomain (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ilos.paddy.com">http://www.ilos.paddy.com</a><!-- m -->) and created a folder using that sub domain (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ilos.paddy.com/docs/">http://www.ilos.paddy.com/docs/</a><!-- m -->).

Now in the config_local.php file, I used this:
$GLOBALS['CONFIG']['dataDir'] = 'www.ilos.paddy.com/docs/';

I get the same "There is a problem with your dataDir. Check to make sure it exists and is writeable" error message. I set the permission of the folder to 777. Am i doing something wrong.

Did you ever get this sorted out? I have the same symptoms and have tried similarly with no luck.
