What was the problem, how'd you get around it?

Yes, you'll need to have JDK 1.4.2 on your system - set JAVA_HOME to it in lams.conf and you'll be right. If you have another Tomcat server running on your machine though, you'll have to do a bit more fiddling to get LAMS and your Tomcat server to run *at the same time*. But that's a topic for another thread...

The error messages mean you got one of these details wrong for logging into mysql: username, password, and/or hostname. You may have to use 'localhost', or 'localhost.localdomain' to get it just right for your system (some linux systems use 'localhost.localdomain' over 'localhost' which confuses sometimes). Check www.mysql.com for support pages about accessing mysql on your particular linux system.
