Greetings all,
This is exciting yet frustrating, as I am trying to get my community started. Only problem is that I am getting hung up on the Database Configuration page of the install. I keep getting the error message stating that it can't find my db.

Thank you so much for any help you can offer.

It works! The problem was the host name was not "localhost"

For Yahoo, it is supposed to be "mysql"

I hope this helps someone at some point!! Thanks!!
