Database errors on install can produce bad error messages.

From Samira on the mailing list:

The issue I had, was in database set-up however the error message I got was “The passwords are not the same” which was not correct. It would be good if there was an error message like “the database is not reachable” then I could figure out the problem easier.

We should have more informative error messages at install time.

This is a recurring problem. It will be improved somewhat in the next release.
