Is this installed in an ibay?  If so, is "enable execution of dynamic content" turned on?

Is webmail enabled?  I seem to recall that some versions of SME didn't turn on PHP unless you enabled webmail.

In any case, there's a simple way to verify if PHP is running.  Make a file called test.php, containing only the following line:



see what happens when you try to access it from the web.

You've got a database configuration problem--two of them, actually.  First, you're trying to use the mysql root user, which is a bad idea.  Second, you're trying to use that user without a password, which won't work.

Take a look at http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/mysql-password-howto.html
