<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Sounds like a permissions problem.<BR>
<BR>
To check, cd to the directory and type ls –la<BR>
See who owns the files & of the file is executable <BR>
You may need to explicitly allow the script to execute (chmod 777 moodleinstallscript will do the trick).<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
To change the owner simply try ...<BR>
chown –R apache /var/www/html <BR>
Where the /var/www/html is your web directory<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps.<BR>

<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
Any ideas on what it is that is preventing me from activating the install script for moodle or why apache is blocking access?<BR>
<BR>
