Hardware description -- server, a resource dream for just playing around
Operating System -- CentOS 5
AMP Stack -- Not sure, I'm away from the system right now
Network Environment -- local network, server & browser on same machine
Package on SourceForge (2.3.1548.tar.gz)

After install, the root account was locked out for not changing the password within 90 days. So I went and updated the "password_ts" field to be current, but I had already tried the login 3 times, so the account was locked out too :) After changing the "activated" field, it worked just fine.

Just suggesting to update the password_ts field with the install script :)

Good idea. This is actually already updated for the 2.4 release, which we are close to putting up on the website. It should also iron out a few other installation issues.
