[Koha] installation help for KOHA 3.0

[Joe Atzberger]

Ulrich --

The $debug_level lines are incidental warnings, not errors.  Ignore them.

What it sounds like is that your haven't set permissions on the database, or
you aren't logging in as the user from your KOHA_CONF file.  You shouldn't
have to load the database structure yourself, but you do have to setup
permissions to allow the Koha user the ability to access mysql and do it for
you.  This step is documented in at least three of the INSTALL documents
from the codebase:

2.2 Create the Koha database

At this point I would probably drop your existing database and start over
with a new one.
