DB Error: unknown error|asterisk 1.2, freepbx 2.2.3, fedora4

"I’m working on a fresh installation of Asterisk 1.2 with FreePBX 2.2.3. The username and password for FreePBX don’t work when I use AUTHTYPE=database in amportal.conf. When I set it to AUTHTYPE=none, I was able to update all the modules. I had a mysterious entry in “Outbound Routes” called “0_9 Outbound”. When I clicked it I always got a “DB Error: unknown error” message. When I add new Outbound routes and try to update them I get “DB Error: unknown error” as well.

Ideas?

[i do have 2 apache installations, but everything is working perfectly fine except for this]

i needed to compile php with --with-gettext to have _() function
which is used in freepbx…
