Roughly a week ago I tried installing the 0.9.7-alpha for the first time, it was also my first look at SVNs, and they’re such a time saver for testing purposes! It beats downloading the files onto the HD and then uploading via FTP!
My first attempt was semi-successful - the installation appeared to work, there were tables in the database, etc; but when I accessed the Manager I just got a blank page with a couple of grey bars at the top... so I gave up for a while.
Today I’ve tried the 0.9.7-alpha again but a different problem has occurred - Firstly I’m not 100% sure what goes where in the build.config.php, these are the same settings I tried the first time, I’ve replaced:
define('XPDO_DSN', 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=modx;charset=utf8');
define('XPDO_DB_USER', 'root');
define('XPDO_DB_PASS', '');
define('XPDO_TABLE_PREFIX', 'modx_');
with
define('XPDO_DSN', 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=my_databasename;charset=utf8');
define('XPDO_DB_USER', 'username');
define('XPDO_DB_PASS', 'password');
define('XPDO_TABLE_PREFIX', '0.9.7-alpha_');
which I think should work, but I’m unsure...
From there I continue with the setup, I fill in the fields and on the final installation screen these errors appear:
Errors were encountered during core installation. Please review the installation results below, correct the problems and proceed as directed.

Error saving the default admin user.

Have I not entered the correct database information?
When I check the database there are no tables and I can’t access any Manager - as far as I can remember I’ve done noting differently from when I first tried 0.9.7-alpha - has anybody got any ideas?
