I am running CentOS 5.3 (a respin for Red Hat Enterprise Linux). I am using MySQL 5.0.45 with Innodb tables enabled. I have made the file access rights changes as detailed in the instruction from Calem (well except for the one error - changed that from chown to chmod).
During install the script reports that it cannot verify the database and the file access rights and gives me two yellow splats beside those entries (I assume that means caution).
I have to manually create the user and database for CalemEAM versus using the Express script because it chokes on the user/password combination.
Once that is done, I use the Custom setup and the tables are created. All the tables are created properly. It appears that when the sample data is loaded an error is thrown with the "There is no active transaction" hint.
Here are the last few entries in the log:
