Description:
This could be an install issue but the merlin.xml has all the right content. I get a 'got status 500' when I try to login into the dashboard for the first time.

Here is what my configration.txt file contains:
-bash-3.00$ sudo cat configuration_report.txt

Application hostname and port: http://127.0.0.1:88
Tomcat Ports: 8080 - 8443 (SSL)
MySQL Port : 9306

Application Role Credentials:
----------------------------
Root role: root/mysql
Agent role: agent/mysql

MySQL Credentials:
------------------
root/merlin

MySQL Agent configuration file 'hostname' syntax:
-------------------------------------------------
hostname = http://agent:mysql@127.0.0.1:8080/merlin/heartbeat-
-----------------------

Here is what mysql db has in merlin
----start of paste from mysql console-----
mysql> connect merlin;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Connection id:    3
Current database: merlin

mysql> show tables;
+------------------+
| Tables_in_merlin |
+------------------+
| users            |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
-------end of paste----------

Here is the contents of my merlin.xml file
-------start of paste-----
<?xml version="1.0"?><doc><db><![CDATA[merlin]]></db><server><![CDATA[localhost]

How to repeat:
latest build 0.7.4- can't get it up on RHEL4

BitRock sent us an updated image today with proper string substitution variables for the mysqld port, user and pass in the installer's merlin.xml and server.xml tomcat configuration files.

So this was a case of merlin.xml not having the correct port number. It conflicts with what was spcified- (See contents of the config.txt). Changed Synopsis, Assign ed to Keith and added comments.
- Checked server.xml , it is fine
- Checked mysqld.log under .../mysql/data and Darren caught it as the mysqld.log said...9306 and not 3306
- There is also exception in the JDBC.html caused by os err(2) which is 'file does  not exist'

BitRock has already fixed this.  It will be in tonights build.
