[OGo-Users] Creating Multiple OGO Instances

Hello Everybody,

I want to set up multiple instances of OpenGroupware on a single machine
and I am obviously doing something wrong. I am running OGO 1.1.6 Ubuntu
Dapper 6.06.

I initially set up OGO and it ran without a hitch, but I then I didn't
have time to play with it. I used the ogo-remove-instance to remove the
existing instance and then ran ogo-create instance thusly:

Username (ogo): ogo-bearden
Home directory (/var/lib/opengroupware.org): /home/ogo-bearden
Web user interface version (1.1):
Zidestore version (1.5):
XMLRPC daemon version (1.1):
Network Hotsync daemon version (none):
Automatically configure the database? (yes):
Database host (localhost):
Database port (5432):
Database user (ogo): ogo-bearden
Database user's password: hithere
Database name (ogo): ogo-bearden
Web user interface port (20000):
Zidestore port (21000):
XMLRPC daemon port (22000):

The creation seems to complete successfully as long as I specify a
password. I assume that I am designating a password instead of just
getting lucky or something. I restart postgresql, apache2, and ogo, and
when I go to http://localhost/ogo-bearden I get:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The SKYRIX application server could not connect to the database server !

Please ensure that your database server is running and that the
LSConnectionDictionary default is correctly set.

Current database configuration: 
database:
ogo
server:
localhost
user:
ogo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anybody please help me out? I've tried purging
opengroupware.org-environment and reinstalling, which looks like it
installs the standard instance, but I get the same error.

A more long term issue is when I create multiple instances, what exactly
needs to be different? I figure user name, home directory, database, and
web user interface port. Is that all?

TIA,
James
