[opencms-dev] Trouble connecting to MySQL during wizard setup

[David De Graff]

Thanks for the quick response. As noted in my message, I did attempt to
connect with both the server name localhost and the actual hostname. The
server name is tomcat (maybe I should change that - named it so b/c it's a
test machine for a tomcat installation).
