so,

I moved the "data" folder to the top level of the web server. Edited the config.php file to reflect the new location. The moodle site gave an error, wouldnt load in my browser. (niether does my reg website). Then I moved the data folder back into the moodle install location, and returned the config.php text to the original. The moodle site gives and error, and my reg. website won't load either.

After looking to find out why, It looks like "Php" is "broken.

any thoughts?
