Database creation problem

[ashaheem]

I came accross a problem during installation of this application. Forget the actual message but the install procedure was not able to connect to the mysql server.

To overcome this problem I changed mysql server field in the install form to:
"localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock" (you may not need the quotation marks).

This was something I came accross when I was migrating from MySQL 4 to Version 5.

Hope this is helpful.

Welcome to our forum Ahmed!
You should create database with user before performance of installation process. You can find the information about installation process here: http://www.esyndicat.com/docs/install.html

Maybe I have the same problem. I created a database an tried to give:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON MYDATABASENAME.* TO MYUSERNAME@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'MYPASSWORD' WITH GRANT OPTION;

via PhpMyAdmin (SQL) but I got following message:

#1044 - Access denied for user 'MYUSERNAME'@'%' to database 'MYDATABASENAME'

Here are the details to my database at 1und1:

Database Name: MYDATABASENAME
Database Username: MYUSERNAME
Hostname: localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock
MySQL5.0

What I am doing wrong?
