Installer Doesn't See Database?

[pushback]

Hello,  I'm part-way through an install of 1.5.32 and the installer does not see the database on localhost.  I have tried via the wizard and via the regular installer.  The error message is "MySQL could not locate a database called 'cpgff' please check the value entered for this."  I have already crated the database manually on the server:

[root@flash etc]# mysql

I'm running on CentOS.

Thanks in advance!

Did you GRANT PRIVILEGES for the username that you are using? Try connecting manually to the 'cpgff' database as that user. Does that work?

Yes, I granted all privileges to that username.  I can't even get it to authenticate at the command line:

[root@flash www]# mysql -u fred -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'fred'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

The password is good. I've checked it, reset it, checked it again .... it's good.

When I login with no user I can see all the databases I've created:

[root@flash www]# mysql

7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

But when I remove the password from my fred user and login as fred I cannot see those databases:

[root@flash www]# mysql -u fred

I'd like to be able to login with the username 'fred' and gain access to those databases. Any help is appreciated!

Is all good now.  Had to read up on granting privs a bit.  Thanks for sending me down the path.

Marking as solved.
