Having tried to run through the wizard setup and it constantly timing out after entering the database details. I thought I'd do the manual setup as I'm fortunate enough to have telnet access to my site.
I configured site.ini and i18n.ini as per the manual configuration docs. But am I missing something or are there no instructions on how to manually run the SQL to create all the datbase tables!
I now get ...
kernel (50) No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly. because theres nothing in the database!

I think than you must create the database manualy and load kernel_schema.sql and clean_data.sql from kernel/sql/mysql or kernel/sql/postgresql (depending on your database type).

Thank you, that has certainly populated the database. I still get the same error when I go to the default page though?

Can anyone help.
I've done a manual installation into the root of my domain, and run kernel_schema.sql and cleandata.sql for MySQL. I can see that the database is populated.
I've uploaded settings/override/site.ini.append.php and I'm sure that the database settings for account/passwd are correct.
When I go to my front page I see the login dialogure boxes but above them it says....
kernel (50)No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly.
I've tried to login regardless with admin/publish (is that the default passwd?) but Iget "Could not login"

I resolved this by re-doing the manual installation from scratch. I think it must have been a permission problem.
