My ports tree is the one from the FBSD 7.1 install as noted above. I
literally just downloaded the .iso yesterday.

MySQL was installed with:

# pkg_add -r mysql51

testweb# mysql -V
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.28-rc, for portbld-freebsd7.1 (i386) using  5.2

Server version: 5.1.28-rc FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.1.28_1

Apache installed via:

# pkg_add -r apache2

testweb# apachectl -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (FreeBSD)
Server built:   Sep  8 2008 13:27:11

PHP was installed from ports (lang/php5). The only changes I made were
enabling the Apache module and enabling sessions (which BTW is required
for Ampache, as is mysql pcre iconv).

php-extensions was also installed via ports. Other than GD, the only
other option that I enabled was MySQL.

Normally I set up websites in a different fashion than above, but to
keep things consistent, I followed the documentation as above.

Done. I scp'd the file from my Windows workstation to the box, and put
it into the ampache/config directory. I then chown'ed the file to my web
servers UID.

At this point, (Step 3), I am presented with a 'Create Admin Account'
screen...I receive no errors or warnings. Clicking on 'Check config'
claims everything is ok...

...and now I am presented with:

http://208.70.104.27/ampache/login.php

...in which I use the admin account I just created, and it directs me
into the application.

I'm willing to bet that you have a permissions error within the
filesystem, but that is just a guess.

Provide the output to:

# ls -l /usr/local/www
# ls -l /usr/local/www/ampache/config
