Steve,

Can you confirm that in your installed mythweb.conf file for Apache,
the following settings are correct for your installation:

<Directory >
setenv db_server (do not use localhost if mysqld and httpd are on
different machines)
setenv db_name
setenv db_login
setenv db_password

You could also try uncommenting 'setenv hostname' to see if that helps.

I have my installation in /var/www/html/mythweb/, so I need to update
the <Directory> path accordingly (I do this via sed in my custom
installation script), and have files owned by apache:apache.

Check your Apache and PHP error logs, as these might also have more
precise details of what is failing.

It should be no more complex than that :)
