along with several others I've had problems with the error

"ERROR: kernel (50) No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly"

after an install.

This applies to Linux BTW

I found that the installer didnt create the site setup files properly so I did some experimenting

I eventually found that going to the root of the ez directory and typing this

chown -R apache.apache *

fixed it. I guess because if apache doesnt own the directories it cant create the files needed by EZpublish

Any comments ?

You should give apache the proper rights ... yes

or even better use the apache module suexec

<vh>

bla... about document root

User bjoern
Group xrow

</vh>

this will give apache the right to do a "su" to that user
