Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Setup/configuration problem

[Jacob S .]

Ok, I decided to take some advice to heart. The .debs have a dependency
on php3-cgi, or so they think, for some reason. So, I uninstalled all
php3 packages, as well as all the phpgroupware packages. Next I
installed php4, php4-cgi, php4-mysql and php4-imap. Followed Dave's
instructions for downloading it from CVS, and then put it in
/var/www/phpgroupware so that I could access it properly. (And did an
updatedb, along with editing out a couple of lines the .debs had added
to /etc/apache/httpd.conf.)

Ok, so the login page loads properly once again. Now I'm running into
permission problems. I tried following the directions given on the
admin page of the documenation section on phpgroupware.org.
/var/www/phpgroupware now has permissions of 700, and all files and
directories are owned by root:root except for "files" which is owned by
www-data:www-data and has permissions of 770. (As I believe apache runs
as www-data on Debian, rather than "nobody".)

After downloading and then copying the header.inc.php I try to login to
Setup/Config admin and get about a hundred screens full of the following
message: 
"Warning: Access denied for user: 'address@hidden' (Using
password: YES) in
/var/www/phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/class.db_mysql.inc.php on line 90"

I get a similar message when I try to create the empty database, as
suggested in the documentation on the website. 

Did I set some permissions wrong, or am I misunderstanding who the
db_user should be, or is this a MySQL problem?

Any suggestions or links to good howtos would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Jacob
