I'm having the same issue.
Here are the steps that I followed:
- Dowloaded the current file:<br>
wget http://www.limesurvey.org/en/stable-release/finish/25-latest-stable-release/626-limesurvey200plus-build121017targz
- extracted files<br>
tar -xvzf 626-limesurvey200plus-build121017targz
gave the apache ownership of all limesurvey files by changing the group</br>chgrp www-data -R limesurvey
- made the files writeable to the apache group
<br>
<br> Then pulled up the website: http://intranet/limesurvey/
I have also created a mysql database and loaded the tables using
mysql -u survey -p limesurvey < create-mysql.sql
then tried to modify the config file but haven't had success. What else does the installer need to do other than create the database, and put the user/pass in the config file?
