It's likely to be database or directory permissions.
Make sure the setup and root directories are writeable during setup so that database.php get's written in the root directory.
If you're not using the MySQL root user during set up make sure the user you are entering has adequate permissions to create the database or create the database and user first then run setup.

There's a previous webinar recording and pdf available here: www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/techdis/events/det.../xertefriday30052014 in case that helps.
