[TYPO3-install] [Fwd: Attempts to install Typo3 meeting with various failures.]

[JZ]

I have attempted to install all of the available Typo3 versions (4.0.2, 
4.0.3, and 4.1 Beta 1a) and each attempt is being met with the same 
failures.

I am running Debian 3.1 on a Plesk 8.0 instance, with Apache 2 and PHP 
4.3.10-16

When I attempt to install using the '123' mode I get the following lines 
at the top of the page:
*Warning*: mysql_list_tables(): supplied argument is not a valid 
MySQL-Link resource in *<typo3 source path>/t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php* on 
line *968*

*Warning*: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL 
result resource in *<typo3 source path>**/t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php* on 
line *970*

This is obviously being caused due to invalid DB permissions, however 
the first page of the '123' method is prompted for DB auth information.  
I provide the information and the next page returns --
-------------------------
 There is no connection to the database!
(Username: , Password: , Host: ).
-------------------------
so it appears as though it's not reading the returned data correctly as 
a phpinfo() on the top of the page has the valid information within the 
returned $_POST values.

Attempts to install without the '123' method are met with equal 
problems.  None of the forms seem to be recognized by the system when 
its submitted as it returns that no data has been provided and thus the 
config file isn't being updated (and it never is).

I have tried running with register_globals on and off, both modes return 
the same results.  My Apache and PHP error logs aren't registering any 
errors during these attempts.

I have also chown'd the entire directory tree (of the dummy site and 
source) to the user running the Apache server, and all files/directories 
in these files are also chmod 777 to remove any possibility of file 
permission errors.

Has anybody else ran into these problems (with all available version)?  
If so, what am I overlooking?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
