[moregroupware-user] Connection failed in step 6 - Is your database server still running

[David P. (YANQ) <nd...@ya...>]

Hi All,

I'm having some troubles installing MGW.  My system is:

- Apache/1.3.34
- PHP/5.2
- Mysql 5.0.32

I understand it may not work with this setup (i.e. php5) but am happy to
give it a go.

I went through the installation process OK but then encountered a
problem at step six.  The error message I got was:

"Setup died with this message:  Connection failed in Step 6: Is your
database server still running? (Host localhost, User webuser, Database mgw)"

I checked that that MySQL was running - it was.  I then double checked
that I had entered the database passwords correctly and realised I had
made a mistake.  I had entered the passwords (for db user and the user
with create permissions) the wrong way around.

So I just deleted the moregroupware directory and started again by:

1. tar -zxvf moregroupware-core-0.7.4.tar.gz
2. chown -R www-data moregroupware
3. Point my browser to https://myserver/moregroupeware/index.php
4. Follow the link to https://myserver/moregroupware/setup/index.php

And rather than see the form to choose a language I get EXACTLY the same
error message straight away:

"Setup died with this message:  Connection failed in Step 6: Is your
database server still running? (Host localhost, User webuser, Database mgw)"

Is it just a case that I can't use moregroupware with php and mysql 5?
Or is there something else I can do?

Ta,

David
