After backing up my database I updated to v1.7 following these steps:
Make Backup of current moodle installation
>cd /usr/share/
>mv moodle moodle.backup
-----------------------------
Copy moodle from ftp to right directory
>cd /home/ftp/
>mv moodle-latest /usr/share/moodle
----------------------------------------
Copy config.php from backup
>cd /usr/share/
>cp moodle.backup/config.php moodle
--------------------------------------
Setup by visiting admin page
http://xxx.x.x.xxx/moodle/admin
----------------------------------------
And I get the following message:
Warning: require_once(config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/share/moodle/index.php on line 39
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/moodle/index.php on line 39
hmmm?
I checked and everything is where it is supposed to be.
I tried repeating with a new download of v1.7 with the same results.
I'm sure its because i'm a noob at Linux and there's some really simple permission issue... but I cannot think of it. Can you help me figure it out?
Thanks!

Make sure all the moodle files are readable to all:
cd /usr/share
chmod -R ugo+r moodle
(Change mode recursively so that user, group and others have read access, for the moodle directory)
cd /usr/share
chmod -R ugo+r moodle
(Change mode recursively so that user, group and others have read access, for the moodle directory)

Humm, that's just half of the work . You need to grant 'execute' permissions on the directories, otherwise you won't be able to get 'inside' them. Something along these lines would do the trick:
cd /usr/share
find . -type d -exec chmod ugo+rx {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod ugo+r {} \;
Saludos. Iñaki.

Thank you to both of you for your rapid response.
I did all the above and had success in reopening our moodle site. Thank you so much!
