As of Lithium 0.7, if you use DB connections you need to uncomment the line:

{{{require __DIR__ . '/connections.php'}}}

from your {{{app/config/bootstrap.php}}} file

Can the tutorial be updated to reflect this change? The tutorial did indeed work after making this change. Example text to appear at the end of the "Connection setup" section could be:

Starting in 0.7, you need to set up your application to use a database connection. To do this, open up ```app/config/bootstrap.php``` and uncomment the line that looks like this:
{{{
require __DIR__ . '/connections.php';
}}}

Added some documentation for this in the Getting started article.  http://rad-dev.org/lithium/wiki/guides/installation

I think it's worth it to just add that sentence to the blog tutorial. It might be the first place that a lot of people start with the framework.

The tutorials are currently being reorganized, and this will be taken into consideration. Thanks for the note.
