Thank you :-).

You can remove the portalsite ../mapbender/http/index.php
and use the default login at ../http/frames/login.php.
We will complete the documentation on mapbender.org, thanks for the hint.

No, I think this is a problem of your database settings.
The MySQL-User 'myuser' must have the necessary premissions. In some cases there 
was a problem with passwords (with special characters) and double quotes .
Please try to use single quotes: define("PW", 'mypassw');

Best regards
Uli
