Yes, and that method works, although I don't know what a quarter of the 
settings are for, and that's the reason for trying to get the setup 
script to work. It almost does, but I cannot save anything. Somewhere in 
  the settings, it should allow me to create databases but damned if I 
can figure it out from the settings...

 >As to your actual issue, you might want to try
 >chown -R nobody.nobody config/

Nope! That does not work either....
