You can hand-edit the ( well commented ) config files -

Damn. I did that, tried to run the installer, and got a blank page. So, I decided to re-read the instructions, and no where in the INSTALL did it say to make a copy of those files and THEN run the installer.
That's right, because when you edit the configuration files to your
taste, you don't _need_ to run the installer. You are manually doing
what the installer does. Those commands above assumed since you had
installed other software you knew enough to edit the config files
yourself for your needs. Note I did not say to run the installer in
the instructions I provided.
When I deleted the copied config files, the web basedd installer
started up normally. I think a note about this should be made in the INSTALL file.
Well, whatever voodoo you had going on moved somewhere else.
The only thing I can think of is that the permissions on the
directories or files that installer needs to access changed to allow
the installer to function. Your "fix" is specific to your setup, so
it is likely not applicable to others.
Make sure your logs directory is writable by the web server process
owner.
