[Moodle] Moodle and Red Hat 9 Update

[Zach Alexakos]

Re: [Moodle] Moodle and Red Hat 9 UpdateHi Darrel, 

I'll check the chmod/chown permissions for the web directory and see how it works.

Thanks for the advice,

  Sounds like a permissions problem.

  To check, cd to the directory and type ls -la
  See who owns the files & of the file is executable 
  You may need to explicitly allow the script to execute (chmod 777 moodleinstallscript will do the trick).

  You should check the permissions on the whole web directory. Normally you'll need to give access to the apache user which is what the webserver runs as.
  To change the owner simply try ...
  chown -R apache /var/www/html 
  Where the /var/www/html is your web directory

  Hope this helps.

    Well, 
     
    I've finally been able to install webmin on Red Hat 9 and get it running.  I've also been able to setup the mysql moodle table via webmin.  
     
    However apache still forbids me access to the moodle folder or says it isn't there.  I have checked the config.php file and have virtually learned it by heart and changed it again and again and again.........but still with no success.  
     
    Any ideas on what it is that is preventing me from activating the install script for moodle or why apache is blocking access?
