    Henry,<br>
    I'm just heading off to bed, but Brian (dbb) should be waking up
    soon and will likely be able to help you. If you have irc, I suggest
    logging onto <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="irc://freenode.net#osgeolive">irc://freenode.net#osgeolive</a><br>
    <br>
    I suspect the problem is that there is not a step in the Quickstart
    which says: start the database using the following commands ...<br>
    <br>
    Quickstart is on the web here:<br>

 Reporter:  camerons  |       Owner:  live-demo@…              
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new                      
 Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:                           
Component:  LiveDVD   |    Keywords:  5.0 ushahidi             
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Running osgeolive5.0b5,
 I open a clean VM, then open ushahidi application by selecting ushahidi
 from the pull down menu.

 I then start following the steps of the quickstart:
 <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/quickstart/ushahidi_quickstart.html" target="_blank">http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/quickstart/ushahidi_quickstart.html</a>

 Choose “Basic Installation”, “Let’s get started”, and it will prompt you
 for a few details. The database name is “ushahidi”, database user name is
 “user”, the password is also “user”. The database host is “localhost”.
 Then continue.

 I then get the following error:
 "Oops! We couldn't make a connection to the database server with the
 credentials given. Please make sure they are correct."
