[Post-nuke-users] Newbie installation problems

[Greg B. <gb...@bl...>]

Hello, all... I'm having trouble installing (or rather, with the
post-install set-up) of Postnuke on a W2k box.

The setup: Apache/PHP/Perl/MySQL installed per the NuSphere installer
(NOT Apache 2.0)

The problems: 

1.) Script doesn't want to create the database in MySQL, although if I
create an empty DB manually, the install script creates all the
necessary table.

2.) Don't know what to put in for "DB host" during the installer script.

3.) Following install, any attempt to get to admin.php or index.php
results in "unable to connect to select database." The path I'm using is
http://localhost/mutant_64/html/admin.php (goofy path, I know, but I
haven't changed the apache config file to associate the directory with a
specific domain ... this was meant as more of a test-bed situation.)

Any help much appreciated ... honestly, I thought I knew my way around
MySQL, but this has me stumped.

Regards,
Greg Brooks
