Hi.

I am completely new to Eventum, and wanted to install it and try it out. I
downloaded the tar file for 2.0, extracted the files into a directory on my
server (www.periship.com/Eventum/eventum-2.0) and tried to access it. The
install instructions indicate that is all I need to do. When I connect to
that directory, I get this error:

Database Error:

There seems to be a problem connecting to the database server specified in
your configuration file. Please contact your local system administrator for
further assistance.

I looked at the config.php, and there are obviously some constants that need
to be set, but I don't see anything anyplace that documents what should be
set initially by the user who installed the product, and what will be set by
Eventum as you go through a (suppsed?) configuration process. It appeared
to me that Eventum expects there to be an eventum database available when it
starts up (again, not documented anyplace?). It also looks as through
several constants need to be manually configured? So, I created an eventum
database and a database user, and modified the following constants thusly:

define('APP_SQL_DBTYPE', 'mysql');

define('APP_SQL_DBHOST', 'localhost');

define('APP_SQL_DBPORT', '3306');

define('APP_SQL_DBNAME', 'periship_eventum');

define('APP_SQL_DBUSER', 'periship_admin');

define('APP_SQL_DBPASS', 'PASSWORD');

but still get the same error message. I am now officially conflabbergasted.
How do I configure / install this thing so I can try it out?
