[opencms-dev] Installation Issues With Mac OS X

[Rene Hinojosa]

Set the root password on mysql.

There is a problem with Safari and opencms setup. I recommend using 
Netscape 7.0 for admin/development use but use IE for the setup(one 
time). You'll run into problems with Safari and Netscape. Also drop 
into Terminal and try connecting to MySQL or even better download 
CocoaMySQL and connect to the database. If you can't connect from 
CocoaMySQL, then you might have a rights problem with mysql.

BTW CocoaMySQL is a nice GUI for MySQL on OS X.
