[Moodle] Moodle Install on RH9

[Zach Alexakos]

Zach Alexakos Geelong North Secondary College Information Technology DepartmentI've finally been able to access to moodle directory under www.  
Apache needed some permission changes (thanks Darrel) and the httpd file required a substantial amount of editing- probably as a result of the infinite number of changes made to it in an attempt to get it to work. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My next significant hurdle is the database error I am now receiving.  
Message is:
"Error: Database Connection failed.  It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.  The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php"

Now I've tried to make changes using webmin without much success and I've also checked the config file- The moodle documentation doesn't say much in this regard.  The error message I receive from webmin when I try to make changes to the moodle database permissions is 
"Access denied to user root to database".  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suggestions are most welcome:
