please, do this test:
open you console and do
Code: [Select]
mysql
you should go to mysql command line..

if no (access denied), you have something wrong with your mysql password.. please search the forum and the wiki to re-initialize your mysql root password

if yes, give "quit", look in /var/log/messages

Ciao
Stefano

How do you try to access MySQL? Did you perhaps in the past change the MySQL root user password. If you did please reset it like this: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Resetting_the_MySQL_root_password

Now I've reset the password for root - that was the problem. But what do I do with the failed installation? Do I try to uninstall and do a new install afterwards or do I just try to install again?

Thanks!

Yes.

Post by: drfresh on December 16, 2008, 03:37:03 PM: Uninstalled, uninstalled "hard", reinstalled, and now it's up and running.

Now I'm really looking forward to someone adding version 3! Looks so much better - but still, this is a great improvement compared to horde.

Thanks!

I believe that is not possible until SME Server 8 is released as this requires PHP5/MySQL 5.
