Problem with OX Hyperion Ubuntu Gutsy Installer Script

I am trying to use the installer script on a fresh Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) Server installation. It is a very basic Gutsy install. I did not install anything extra when prompted to do so during the Ubuntu installation (no MySQL, no LAMP, etc). The OX installation script seems to successfully install the needed items (MySQL, etc). The OX install script I am using is located here.

The install goes without glitches until line 392:

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/oxinstaller -f --oxdb-pass=$PASSWORD --admin-pass=$PASSWORD --maildomain $DOMAIN

At that point I get this message repeating endlessly:

admindaemon startup still in progress, waiting...

The only way out is to kill the script. I have tried running the rest of the script manually, with no success.

Please help.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this request. If not, please direct me to the appropriate place (forum?).

Oops, looks like this was not the correct location to post this. I have since found the forums. Anyway, I will leave this here. Apparently, the solution to this problem is found here in a post by Daniel Halbe. oxinstaller only works if the mysql root password is not set. That's a pretty important detail and it's easy to mess this up because the first time running the installer script (when MySQL got set up), there was a prompt for the root MySQL password. That prompt should either be bypassed or warn not to set the MySQL root password or the script will fail. Please fix.

After unsetting the root MySQL password, the installation succeeded.

I'll take this sort of thing to the forums from now on.
