By default, on most systems, you can connect to the MySQL server as root 
from the localhost. So if you leave the $CDASH_DB_LOGIN='root', the user 
will be superuser and should be able to create the tables. (Note that it 
is not recommended for security reasons. We'll put the full procedure 
online soon).

You need to checkout/copy CDash in the HTTP document directory of 
apache. If you are on the local server you can then open a web browser 
and enter the URL http://localhost/CDash, assuming that CDash is in the 
root directory of your apache's http documents.

Let me know if you are having any further issues,
