[Cdash] Installation: edition of config.php

[Isabelle Cabrera]

Thank you Julien. The version I've checked out from the repository 
contains these lines, so I guess I don't need to change anything for now:

// Hostname of the MySQL database
$CDASH_DB_HOST = 'localhost';
// Login for MySQL database access
$CDASH_DB_LOGIN = 'root';
// Password for MySQL database access
$CDASH_DB_PASS = '';
// Name of the MySQL database
$CDASH_DB_NAME = 'cdash';

Now I'm up to step 3 (and maybe 4):

3. If the MySQL user 'cdash' has enough privileges to create tables skip 
the next step.

I haven't created any user 'cdash'. Is this user supposed to be created 
in config.php as root is in mine? Does 'cdash' become a superuser if I 
set $CDASH_DB_LOGIN to 'cdash' instead of 'root' ?


About step 5:
5. Use your favorite web-browser and point it to your installation 
directory (i.e. http://mywebsite.com/CDash).

Do I configure this address within my apache server...?

Best regards,
Isabelle
