[MRBS-general] Fresh Install Not Working

[Carlos W. <car...@gm...>]

All, I just installed the latest version of 'mrbs'  1.4 on CentOS 5.2
x86_64. I installed Apache web server and its working fine. However
when I try to get to the admin web interface to start creating
calendars, I get an error that says, "Fatal Error: Failed to connect
to database". I don't know what I am doing wrong. The instructions
don't tell me once the install is complete, how to start managing my
fresh installation. The install directory is /var/www/html/cal/. I get
the above errror when I point my browser to hostname/cal.

I created the MySQL database and tables as instructed to do in the
documentation:

***********************************************************************

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| cal                |
| mysql              |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.02 sec)

mysql> use cal;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> show tables;
+---------------+
| Tables_in_cal |
+---------------+
| mrbs_area     |
| mrbs_entry    |
| mrbs_repeat   |
| mrbs_room     |
+---------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

***********************************************************************

Now I also configured my config. My MySQL database is open with no
username and or password for right now just to test and get this
running. However in the 'database settings' section, I see the
following:

$dbsys = "mysql";
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_database = "cal";
$db_login = "mrbs";
$db_password = 'mrbs-password';
$db_tbl_prefix = "mrbs_";

I think maybe MySQL does not have a user login for 'mrbs' and or the
documentation failed to mention I had to create one.

Can someone please help me out?
