Postnuke install probs - any advice appreciated.

[Graham Bentley]

Hello All,

I have 5.2.1 freshly installed and updated / built.

I have installed Postnuke (Rogue) using the ports system.
I have a running Apache which displays a PHP test page fine.
I have a running MySQL server in which I have created a root 
password for both localhost and the host/domain.

I have created a database called rogue and a user called rogue 
and a password for rogue.

I have imported the Rogue.sql schema e.g. 
3bsd# mysql -u rogue -p rogue < /usr/local/www/data-dist/postnuke
/sql/rogue.sql

When I come to run webconfig install.php I only get so far and then 
get a blank page. I enter language, the database name and user and 
password. I click proceed and what comes up next is a mostly blank 
page with red text the words "No database made"

If I tick the option to create the database I get a completely blank page.
I have also noticed that if I leave all these fields balnk I get exactly the 
same results.

Here is a sample from my httpd-error log :-

[error] PHP Warning: main(pnadodb/adodb.inc.php): failed to open stream:

Wondering if calls to the database server are being denied or the DB server
is just 
unavailable for some reason.

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks
