[HLUG] Last pieces of the DotProject puzzle

[Matt Rhys-Roberts]

Hi, glad to report I'm closer than ever  to getting DotProject running 
on my Ubuntu box. Apache2 and php seem to be running fine. mysqld 
appears to be running correctly at this point, at least according to 
webmin. As per instructions, I point my browser at the /install folder 
of the DotProject hive of php files, which wakes up the (promising 
looking) pre-install check page nicely. However, proceeding on to the 
'recommended install' button gives a consistent moan that there's no 
mysql database to connect to, although the config file is reported to 
have been created ok.

Should I have created a specific blank mysql database to connect to 
beforehand? Anyone been here before?

(DotProject is ace for project management, we use it a hell of a lot at 
work.) When's it my turn?!!
