HI
I'm trying to set up a local Ubuntu server running apache, mysql & php to use as a development machine. When I run the installer.php file I'm getting as far as step 10 the database selection.
Here I keep getting the error message 'An error was encountered while creating a new CORE object. Error Information: The core constructor function was unable to locate and/or obtain configuration values from the private configuration file.'
I've created the database within mysql, given access to root from other machines to access, granted privileges within mysql, but I've obviously missed something. Any pointers?
Many thanks

This sounds like a password mismatch issue. Check the installer passwords stored in each of the private and public config.php files. On is the password (public) and one is a copy of it (private). If they don't match, copy the value for the public password and replace the private password copy value with it.
If it's not a password mismatch, check permissions on the private directory, and also make sure you transferred everything to the local machine that you needed to (if this wasn't a fresh install).
