Hello Howard, thank you for responding.
OS is Fedora, server is Apache 2.2.17. Database is MySQL. I've now quadruple checked config.php and it's all sane. Apache is logging a "File does not exist" error, telling me /var/www/<a></ a> doesn't exist, which isn't particularly more useful than anything else. /var/www/ is moodle's web root on this server. Any suggestions?
