I'm trying to install moodle 2.1.1 on my local linux box (Linux Mint 11 == Ubuntu), but I can't get past the database setup page. I've created a database user called 'moodle', for an empty database also called 'moodle' and given that user full permissions on that database as per the instructions on http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Installing_Moodle. However when I run the installation script, as soon as I press 'Next' on the database settings page I get the following message in red:
I also get this across the top of the page:
Warning: mysqli::close(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 336 Call Stack: 0.0013 544268 1. {main}() /var/www/moodle/install.php:0 0.1022 16039464 2. moodle_database->__destruct() /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/moodle_database.php:0 0.1022 16039464 3. mysqli_native_moodle_database->dispose() /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/moodle_database.php:140 0.1022 16039716 4. mysqli->close() /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php:336

My PHP version is 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks
