Yup I followed the instructions perfectly myself and I am sure Derek
did as well.   I can connect to MySql  as 
kohaadmin with the password I selected during installation just
fine.  The problem is the user www-data is NOT given a password
for MySql and it is trying to connect without one and is being refused.<br>
<br>
I have attempted this install on Debian Sarge and Mandriva 2006.&nbsp;
Both systems end up with the same error.&nbsp; I have Koha currently
installed on Mandriva 2006 with MySql 4.1.12 and Apache 2.0.54.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a solution for this?<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;"> I did not had similar problems but seems
a lot like a mysql configuration problem. Can you connect to the
database using the mysql shell? Did you properly configured the mysql
password for user www-data in koha?<br>
