For some reason the database credentials were not setup correctly so when I hit the mainpage after installation if end up in the install.php routine. The database was restored correctly so manually inserting the right credentials did the trick. It could be related to issues I had during install: I selected a too difficult password and changed complexity afterwards. I'll try to debug the routine on a fresh install over the week.

where exactly did you end up setting a password?? the install script should set the initial password for the drupal installation automagically...

I entered the db credentials to sites/default/settings.php. This was generated by the script (looking at filesystem timestamps) but the database connection string is unchanged from the default. I suspect an unescaped character ("$" in the initial database password I provided in the drupaltesting_server.conf) did work when importing the database but screwed up my initial settings.php. I will try to do a clean install to reproduce it and get back with more info.

Can you confirm that is the issue?

Seems that the following isn't working

$SED -i -e "/^\$db_url =/ c\\
\$db_url['default'] = 'mysql://${DRUPAL_DB_USER}:${DRUPAL_DB_PASSWORD}@localhost/${DRUPAL_DB}';
\$db_url['pifr_checkout'] = 'mysql://${DRUPAL_DB_USER}:${DRUPAL_DB_PASSWORD}@localhost/${DRUPAL_DB}_checkout';
" settings.php

with error:

/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 90: extra characters after command

Removed pifr_checkout line as it seems to make it mad...and it notifies admin that they need to set it up...as they did before since it doesn't detect/ask what type of client they are setting up.
