I've just found out what the problem was. I was playing with adding different mysql users, but all of those users wouldn't connect to the database with the password supplied, but did connect by just clicking enter when prompted for the password. I then discovered that there were 2 Anonymous users installed already (added by the mysql-server rpm I assume). After deleting those users I could connect using the passwords and the Koha installer ran without any problems. So not a Koha installer bug after all ;-) Hope this helps others with similar problems as well. Thanks for all those who replied to my questions, -Jochum Jochum van der Heide wrote:

If I just click enter when prompted for the password (so empty password) then it lets me in fine. Does this mean that the Koha installer doesn't pass on the kohaadmin password to mysqld correctly? or is it something to do with my mysql configuration?
It means the kohaadmin password hasn't been site correctly. I'm not sure whose fault that is. Did the password contain any shell special characters (!$ quotes and a few others)? If so, it's the installer being broken.
No, the password doesn't use any special characters. Is there anyway to debug this or manually work around this installer problem?
