Why do you want to add them outside htdocs?
You could also add them inside htdocs.

Just install it inside htdocs, not outside. There’s a reason why there’s a file that says, ‘DO NOT UPLOAD FILES HERE’.

Moodle wants to protect your private data from being accessible from the internet by storing the files outside a web accessible directory. We want to protect your website by making sure that PHP code of one domain cannot access the files outside of that domain folder (to prevent a security problem on one site from compromising your entire account).
Both Moodle’s and our restrictions are valid concerns. Unfortunately, this means that Moodle can’t run on our hosting.
