Pranay,
Don't go for Softaculous installation, it does work quick, but in later stages it does gives load of issues specially with plug-ins and somethings MAY not work, as they have only base versions in their database and not the security updated.
I think it as well have been mentioned somewhere in the video not to use automated installers.

I saw that you have recommended not to use script installation for getting Moodle up, but it was urgent for me to get Moodle up and running on my website.
I will debug the database connection errors I am getting on the sideline. Once sorted, I'll do a fresh install from cPanel.
Shall bug you if I run into deadends!

FINALLY got the manual install to work cleanly!
Following Emma's advice, I just dropped and recreated my Moodle database and voila, everything worked just fine!
I have been playing around with versions ever since, using Usman's approach to upgrade. Had to stop at 2.8, though (2.9 required InnoDB).
Time to get familiar with the environment now, before I head into plugins and themes!
Thank you both once again, this discussion was really helpful.
