FYI, I ran into an error the other day when I tried

"root", $rootpw );
I got it to work by changing the line to the following:

The install script currently is a little fascistic. ;) It assumes you
have total control over your system:
* shell access
* command-line PHP interpreter
* root access to the MySQL server
* will be installing into a fresh database to be created, which will
have nothing else in it
