Able to access set up screen but once I submit admin accounts I get the follow:

MYSQL connection failed: No such file or directory

My mysql account is located on the server that the application is on, should it not be set to localhost? Note this is a fresh mysql install. Thanks! badmysql

Seems all I needed to do was create database and users, but now getting issue with 'CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci'.

Fix was to change permissions to be 777 on www directory then change back after removing CHARCTER set line from database. UTF8 already standard for mysql 5.5.
