"it must not be accessible directly via the web"

As it's under your /var/www path then I expect that it is. After you've put it somewhere else you should check that it can be written by the web server user. If the machine is not shared just 'chmod 0777' it.

Why are you running 1.9.1? That's years and years old!!

Read http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Installing_Moodle.

If /var/www means Debian or a derivied flavour http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Installing_Moodle_on_Debian_based_distributions is quite complete. (Don't let /22/ in the URL distract you, the article is valid for all Moodle versions since 1.6.)

Yes, if 1.9, get the latest, 1.9.19 or 1.9.19+ http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases#Moodle_1.9.

P.S. In Unix, the file (and directory) names are case sensitive. SFDC_html/SFDC_Moodle is not wrong but not the same as SFDC_html/SFDC_moodle. For this reason it is common to write lower case throughout.
