[ZendTo] Database failure writing authentication key

[Jules]

Michael,

You probably didn't reboot and browse to your ZendTo site's home page 
before you started.
(It's in the instructions at the end of the Installer).
Look in /var/zendto and do an "ls -al"
The web server user and group need to be able to write to /var/zendto 
and /var/zendto/zendto.sqlite.

If you run /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php then it may fix the permissions 
for you.
If it doesn't, you'll either have to do them manually, or else delete 
/var/zendto/zendto.sqlite, then browse to the site's home page, and it 
should automatically re-create it for you with the right permissions.

Get the Database errors sorted before you start worrying about the Email 
one.

If the Email error proves troublesome, let me know and I'll walk you 
through troubleshooting that. Do *not* set "SMTPDebug = TRUE," in 
preferences.php, that will break more than it will fix if you don't know 
what to do.

Cheers,
Jules.
