An issue of ATG Portal install, is this a bug or I've missed anything?

Question

I tried to follow the ATG Install guide to install ATG Portal, but just got the errors below.
**** Error Wed Dec 12 15:12:44 CST 2012 1355296364141 /atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/JTDataSource an exception was encountered while trying to populate the pool with the starting number of resources: atg.service.resourcepool.ResourcePoolException: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
I’m confused that despite of my intending to use Oracle Database, with using creating script under oracle folder which I believe is prepared for oracle database, it insist to seek and use mysql’s jdbc driver to try to connect to database. why? (You can notice Error line in the fragment)
In my opinion, connecting to Oracle database by using mysql’s jdbc driver would never work and doesn’t make sense at all. I also investigated the script of install-oracle.sh, found the script below:
echo "Importing data..."
( cd ../../../home; bin/startSQLRepository -m Portal.paf -database oracle -repository /atg/portal/framework/PortalRepository -import ../Portal/install/minimal-data.xml )
The parameter after “…Portal.paf -database” is “oracle”, so I think at least, the processing should seek for oracle’s jdbc driver.
Although I was told to set up my own FakeXADataSource.properties file to refer to my Oracle database information, where exactly should I put them? Now I put the file into /ATGinstallfloder/ATG10.1.1/home/localconfig/atg/dynamo/service/jdbc, and content is as below:
$class=atg.service.jdbc.FakeXADataSource
server=localhost:1313
user=ATG-PORTAL
needsSeparateUserInfo=false
URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl
readOnly=false
password=123
database=
driver=com.oracle.jdbc.Driver
But I still keep receiving errors "/atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/JTDataSource an exception was encountered while trying to populate the pool with the starting number of resources: atg.service.resourcepool.ResourcePoolException: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure"

I assume /atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/JTDataSource having [dataSource=/atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/DirectJTDataSource].
To make sure, Can you check JNDIName value in /atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/DirectJTDataSource indicating properly in your xyz-ds.xml file that you have configured?

You are correct.

Please first confirm JNDIName as already mentioned above before proceeding to FakeXADataSource.
