PostNuke.

[Chris Wagner]

I went to install PostNuke last night (not finding much of an 
installation manual anywhere), but it seemed to be pretty straightforward.

I setup mySQL and set the root password (I don't know what user to run 
as honestly; if I need to create a new user and use it, would someone 
enlighten me?) and then decompressed the PostNuke package and moved it 
to the Apache html root (/var/www/html on this Yellow Dog distro).

I then hit the PostNuke install.php file and I began the installation 
process that took me through a really nice graphical setup, but when I 
got to the point of creating the mySQL database, I inputted the 
necessary information and got an error every time I tried to create the 
database that the database could not be created.

I can't remember the exact error, but it said something to the effect 
that it was having troubles with a mysqlconnect() issue.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

On the way to work I was thinking on it and wondered if I needed to 
change the location of the mySQL server to 127.0.0.1, which now that I 
think about it, PostNuke had lined out on that screen.

Any input from those of you who have operating or have run PostNuke 
installs is MORE than welcome (Dustin, etc.).

The build of PostNuke was the latest I could find on their site (I think 
it was Phoenix 0.726).

Thanks!
