Here's the errors that it gives:

root / group root.
The file is owned by user %s and group %s.
This usually means that the user/group your webserver is running as cannot
read the file.
Be careful not to make the permissions on this file too liberal, because it
contains database

So I see that it could be a problem with the file's permissions, which is
odd because I never changed them and it was working just fine before.

I just changed the owner of both config files to root (which I'm currently
logged in as) and attempted a restart again. I also changed both file
permissions to 764. Still no luck. Any more suggestions?

Thanks!
