[Typo3-debian] MySQL connection error while trying to install TYPO3

Maybe that's not very clear in the documentation, but this option will be
invoked automatically when you create a new site as root.

                                   ^^^^^^^^
Jordan, why do you cut the end of this line?! That was the really
interesting part, please repost it!

Seems like you didn't load the GD module yet. Open /etc/php4/apache/php.ini
with your favourite editor, scroll down to the end of the file and
uncomment the relevant line. Restart Apache and you're done.
