When running the install.php routine, I get to the point where I have defined my SQl DB and then click on Let's Go!. I get this error,
Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered
MySQL error was : Access denied for user: 'smedphot@XXXXXXX'
(Using password: YES)
The X'x are for security reasons. :)
I have created the DB through the MySQL manager on my host. Do I need to do that or am I missing something?
Copy/Paste this into notepad and save the file as mysql_test.php and upload it to your server. Then run the file from your browser.

<?php
$DBName = "YOUR_DB_NAME";
$DBUser = "YOUR_USER_NAME";
$DBPass = "YOUR_PASSWORD";
$DBHost = "YOUR_HOST_URL";
$link = mysql_connect ( $DBHost, $DBUser, $DBPass )
or die ( "Could notconnect<br><br>" );
print ( "Connected to mysql server successfully<br><br>" );
mysql_select_db ( $DBName )
or die ( "Could not select database<br><br>" );
print ( "Connected to database successfully<br><br>" );
mysql_close ( $link );
?>

Make sure to add the correct info for your MySQL... (between the parenthesis)
This is a quick test to make sure your user/pass/path are correct before attempting an install....
