Progress with PHPmotion

After some experimentation, I have PHPmotion working. Or at least working to the point where it lets me in as the site administrator.

The problem was that the setup routines would not connect to the database. The actual problem was with the account that I was using and the rights that it had. I switched to the MySQL root account, and PHPmotion lets me configure it. (It would be nice if the documentation mentioned the MySQL account requirements. I like to keep rights to the minimum necessary.)

With that problem solved, I can now try some templates and some uploads. I suspect that I do not have all of the codecs loaded; I will need more time to investigate those.
