Which doesn't allow for setting of the web server user & group, that I
saw. I just hunted around & edited the make.env file by hand, but that
caused another problem when I went to create a new instance.

apparently install_conf.php gets set up at the same time as make.env, so
changing make.env still left me with a broken install_conf.php after
running through the install. No big deal, another quick edit & I was able
to create instances. (Yes, I know I could have just supplied
creat_instance with --apache_user and --apache_group every time I created
a new instance, but that's not solving the problem, only working around
it).

First, I apologise, I misinformed there... That should be 'admin-files',
not 'admin-tools'

Umm... That isn't what's going on here. I get a 404 when I got to
http://[site_name]/admin/

http://[site_name]/admin-files/ brings up a login screen, with a broken
image (trying to load from http://[site_name]/admin/img/sign_big.gif which
is impossible with no admin directory). Entering any user/pass
(admin/admn00 or anything else) and clicking on LOGIN results in a blank
page; the full HTML of which is [html][body][/body][/html] (I changed the
brackets to not interfere with posting this).

Watching the MySQL log shows that no attempt is made to authenticate
against the database.

(note: this almost seems like an exec-type of problem, I'm going to dig a
little more & see if my server is allowing execution of CGIs & such in
/usr/local/campsite. Hrmm).

Has anyone here been able to do a clean install of 2.2.0 yet and have it
work? Maybe I'm just overlooking something, and I'll be the furst to admit
I can be daft at times. :)

 Tod.
