I think I found some of the problem and (partly) solved it. For one or another reason (ADSL router, Ethernet switch or ISP dns), the dhcp doesn't look to provide a properly hostname in the initial boot process. When I manually configured my Ethernet interface with Yast2 and put in the right hostname (default was linux) and rebooted, then the internal mysql internal database was set up during startup. Then I also was able to create a root password for mysql, log in as root and create a database for eZ publish. I unpacked eZ publish to /home/terje/public_html which created a folder ezpublish-3.5.1. However I got "connection refused" again when trying this url in Mozilla: http://localhost/~terje/public_html/ezpublish-3.5.1/index.php Is this a wrong url and how does I possibly verify if this directory really is web-served? I checked with Yast2 System>Run level editor that mysql was running. However, Apache2 was not running and I enabled it. But still I am not able to start the eZ publish wizard. Suggestion? Terje
