Re: the tutorial

As it happens, I debugged this issue this weekend, and fixed in CVS.
If you look in the system.xconf for app-navigate, the createdb model is
defined for the "Keel" menu, but "Keel" is allowed only for users in the
"root" group, which means that you'll only see the Keel menu after logging in,
which will only happen after the tables are created.  Nice chicken-'n-egg
situation!  (The part about protecting the Keel menu for "root" users happened
  between the writing of the tutorial and Keel 2.0 release some time).

So, solutions:

- Access URL directly as suggested by Steve
- Take out "<groups><group>root</group></groups>" from the Keel menu config
- Add a new top-level menu item that allows unrestricted access to createdb
- For Keel-2.1-dev I chose to move the createdb model under the "Data" menu

HTH,
