Been banging my head against a brick wall for over an hour trying to work out why I kept getting a "Could not connect to database" error when installing LimeSurvey.
According to their mods on the forums, this is "intended" behaviour. Well tyvm for that mods.
At no point do they mention in their installation documentation or in the error message that you actually have to go to run an install script that isn't in the main directory.
Just append /admin to your URL for your limesurvey installation and it will redirect to the install script.
