[otrs] Error During Ajax Communication

Fresh install of SLES11 SP1 and a brand new install of OTRS. I finally got all the dependencies worked out and OTRS is installed. I go to http://localhost/otrs/installer.pl and get to step 2 - Database Settings. I fill in all the info and click check database settings and i get: Error During Ajax Communication I can't seem to make it passed this. The MySQL server is a different server and i used the ip address in the Host field of step 2. 1 other thing i noticed during the install; when following http://doc.otrs.org/3.1/en/html/install ... on-on-suse, restarting the apache2 server does not show: CODE: SELECT ALL Starting httpd [ PERL ] Anyone seen this during installation?
