If you are following the installation instructions from moodle.com you may have missed a small, but essemtial point. Their command line
cd /var/www/html/moodle sudo vim config.php
realloy should be broken into correct separate lines, as:
cd /var/www/html/moodle
sudo vim config.php
The sudo part of the second command will prompt you for your password, and grant you root privileges for the editing of the "config.php" file. This could have been done in a single line command with
cd /var/www/html/moodle && sudo vim config.php
