Hello Ken,
Just to let you know that this was the problem:
'So who ever is the DNS server administrator(s) no entry in DNS has been made for the FQDN you are trying to use for your server: www.diabetes.cmdn.dundee.ac.uk'
I managed to talk to someone in IT who looked into this and created the DNS entry, I am able to access the Moodle site now. It is working fine.
So I know now that I am able to install a Moodle site in Linux (I would use that fact when asking for a promotion, ha, ha )
