Due to the setup of my virtual hosting account I cannot use \"admin\" as my directory name but have been forced to change it to \"admin1\". Will this have any major effect on my installation?

You will need to set $_CONF[\'site_admin_url\'] in config.php accordingly (see comments there). bye, Dirk

I\'ve checked this again, a little more patiently and now I\'m getting the first error message again. I believe that I have the paths setup correctly but am not sure that I\'ve setup a username/password for my mySQL database. As I\'m extremely new to this, how do I do that, using myphpadmin?
