I now tried to run setup-kolab mysql and learned that the "yum install kolab"-step did not install the mysql server. Additinally performing "yum install mysql-server" helped a lot.
For the mysql step, still two error messages occur:
MySQL root password [ejPiNDd7jl-NfWk]: 
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

But it seems to work at least partly, because a second call states
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
ERROR 1007 (HY000) at line 1: Can't create database 'kolab'; database exists
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 43: Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'

I get additional errors in the "imap" step:
# LANG=C setup-kolab imap

I needed to change the system default locale in order for this to work (change locale in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to "en_US.UTF-8").

Afterwards, the remaining steps worked ok (roundcube, z-push, freebusy) and I can see the kolab-webadmin in the browser.
However, I cannot login: What is the admin username? It used to be "manager" in earlier kolab versions, but that does not seem to work any longer. Or do I have to use a special username/password combination?
