Hello,

I just recently setup a new lamp server and am in the process of trying to install Omeka on it. I seem to have run into a bit of a snag. I was able to get error reporting to let me know what the conflict was, and it said it might have something to do with the db.ini file. Below is a screen shot of what I have. Any ideas where I should go from here?

looking at your db.ini it seems that the ‘host' is the most likely place you might have an error.
If mysql is installed on the same machine, simply put “localhost” there,
For the rest just make sure the database exists, it is accessible by that user with that password. 
(and BTW, since you posted what looks like the real username and password, i would recommend changing it now :)

Fair point. And Thanks for help.

Ok, now I'm at the point where I need to change directory permissions. On the command line I tried to follow this:
sudo find . -type d | xargs sudo chmod 775
Now I get the sudo: unable to execute /bin/chmod: argument list too long.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Omeka doesn't require you to set the permissions of very many
directories (generally just the files/ directory tree, which is only a
handful). Maybe you're running that command from the wrong directory?

Separately, though it's not exactly the same because it will pick up
things other than directories, chmod -R (recursive) is usually
sufficient for these purposes rather than using find and xargs.

Ok. I'll keep that in mind. I did just find out how to fix the problem I was having, so I'm good.
