I cannot reproduce this on Linux (Chrome, IE9 and Firefox 20).
The only thing I noticed and didn't realize before and is different then
other installations I've seen on Linux web packages is page2.php.
'MySQL Database Account Set up page'
You HAVE to fill in a valid mysql user, and the user HAS to have rights
for the db created on page1.php. NO user account is created for you.
Is someone prepared to send me a sequence of screenshots displaying the
issue by PM?
The database.php should have been created after pressing 'Next' on
page2.php
There were issues with previous install packages if you didn't finish
the install and restarted it. That almost never worked correctly. But
that is fixed in the installer you report as being used. (this
particular problem was fixed in SVN rev874)
If you still have the setup folder, check the contents of database.txt.
It should NOT have been modified. It has to be the same as the original
one from the .zip.
Regards,
Tom
