Can you expand on the required changes? I'm getting the same error message.
I have an existing installation that works fine (older version 1.9.5) but I'm trying to setup/move my sites to a new server so I'm trying to install 2.4 and then import my old classes. I downloaded the zip file to my computer, extracted the files and then uploaded them to my shared hosting server. I created an empty MySQL database and now I'm running the install.php through the browser (firefox) and when I get to the "Improved MySQL" screen to provide the config settings, I get this error. I believe it has to do with the "database host" name as I get slightly different error messages if I change it from localhost, to an IP address, to another DNS name.
