installation failed in step 2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have lamp  stack installed on my machine Linux (RHEL4)
2. copied the folder in to htdocs
3. step one worked
4. but second step is not working. I tried with (localhost, IP addrres and 
hostname) even with root authentication for DB 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
On screeen it shows below output

hostname.' failed.'; return false; } else { $sel_db=mysql_select_db($database); 
// SELECT THE DATABASE if (!$sel_db) die("unable to select db, does the 
database ".$database." exist?") ; mysql_query("set autocommit=1"); // RUN IN 
AUTOCOMMIT MODE FOR INNODB TABLES return $result; } } function pconnect() { // 
PERSISTENT CONNECTION $result = mysql_pconnect($this->hostname, 
$this->username, $this->password); if (!$result) { echo 'Connection to database 
server at: '.$this->hostname.' failed.'; return false; } return $result; } 
function Query($query,$query_no="") { // THE METHOD TO EXECUTE QUERIES //echo 
"Sql QUERY: ".$query."
"; //$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed: $query

".mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query($query) or 
die(ShowSQLError($query_no,$query)); return $result; } function 
FetchArray($result) { // A METHOD TO RETURN THE RESULT AS AN ARRAY return 
mysql_fetch_array($result); } function FetchAssoc($result) { // AN ALTERNATIVE 
METHOD TO RETURN AS AN ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY return mysql_fetch_assoc($result); } 
function FetchRow($result) { // AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO RETURN ROWS $query = 
mysql_fetch_row($result); return $result; } function ReturnQueryNum() { // A 
METHOD TO RETURN THE QUERY NUMBER return $this->query_num; } function 
NumRows($result) { // A METHOD TO RETURN THE NUMBER OF ROWS IN A RESULT return 
mysql_num_rows($result); } function AffectedRows() { // A METHOD TO DETERMINE 
HOW MANY ROWS WERE AFFECTED BY THE QUERY return mysql_affected_rows(); } 
function GetColumns($result) { //return mysql_fetch_field($result, $i); $i = 0; 
//echo mysql_num_fields($result); $fields_arr[]=""; for ($i=0;$iname); } return 
$fields_arr; } function LastInsertId() { // A METHOD TO OBTAIN THE LAST 
INSERTED AUTOINCREMENT ID return mysql_insert_id(); } function Begin() { // A 
METHOD TO START A TRANSACTION mysql_query("set autocommit=0"); } function

mysql_query("rollback"); } } function ShowSQLError($sql_id,$query="") { echo 
"An error has occured. Report being generated now...
"; echo "Error: ".$sql_id."
"; echo "This is the SQL error:

"; echo mysql_error()."

"; echo "This is the SQL:

"; //echo $data."
"; $db=$GLOBALS['db']; $sql="INSERT INTO error_sql_data (sql_id, output) VALUES 
('".EscapeData($sql_id)."','".EscapeData(mysql_error())."')"; //echo $sql."
"; //$db->query($sql); echo "Report generated. Please go back and continue. The 
problem will be resolved soon.
"; die(); } ?>
