Hi,
I am trying to install dotproject:
http://docs.dotproject.net/tiki-index.php?page=Installation+Instructions
But when I try to install it no mysql database can be installed:
Database Installation Feedback: Not Created
No Database Connection available! Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have tried as user root and admin with the password I created for these. But no success.
Any hints why this goes wrong and how to do it beter are greatly apreciated. I am afraid I have a very limited experience with databases.

ps I have created an ibay called dotproject and a domain dotproject-test.com. Added the domain to my hosts file.
downloaded the installer:
wget \
http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dotproject/dotproject-v2.0.2.tar.gz
untarred it.
I can access the installer then by :
http://dotproject-test.com/dotproject/install/

You should be able to select password as NO, I'm pretty sure because the myslq password is generated automatically and is a long complex password. Maybe someone can clarifer clearer

I do not understand this I am afraid. Without password no success either. I have to fill in a password I think?
Without password I get:
Database Installation Feedback: Not Created
No Database Connection available! Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Please note that errors relating to dropping indexes during upgrades are NORMAL and do not indicate a problem.

Setting up dotProject is a very easy if you do it right.
1. Don't use "root" as either dotProject administrator, or for mysql.
2. Use mysql_setpermission to create a database (option 2), and call it whatever you want. You will be propted to create a user, and a password if you want, which you do. Use localhost only.
3. Don't quit mysql_setpermission yet. Select option 7, and provide it with the same information.
4. Enable PHPBasedir (I'm guessing you've installed it in an iBay, say "dotproject") as follows:
> /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop dotproject PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dotproject/:/tmp
> /sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify dotproject
5. If you are using an ibay, delete index.html from the html dir.
6. Start the dotProject install http://yourservernamegoeshere/dotproject
