Error using wizard installation, debian/mysql

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi, I encountered this persistent error while populating the db:

Syntax error or access violation message from server: "You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; ' at line 1"
INSERT INTO jforum_groups ( group_name, group_description ) VALUES ('General', 'General Users');

However I ran this statement manually in mysql and it worked fine.

Later: OK, I have completed the manual installation steps. Now I have another problem.

The file index.htm still wants to redirect me to install/install.page. SHould this be changed?

Thanks

I am the formerly anonymous author of the original post. I neglected to mention that I am using the Jetty servlet container, and had to reconfigure log4j because of conflicts with the container's use of commons logging.
For what it's worth.

Aha, never mind, I see that <context>/forums/list.page is the place to go. Sorry to be dense. So I guess the intent is not to use index.htm after the installation is configured?

As descried at http://www.jforum.net/install_no_wizard.htm#misc,you should do some post-installation configurations.

It's not listed there, but you should rename "new_rename.htm" to "index.htm". I'll update that doc.
