I can’t get past step three.
Step 3: installation error. Could not connect to or create the PhotoPost database.

Mysql account maintainence shows this:
artwhisk_forum
Users in forum
artwhisk_duffb (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)
Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:artwhisk_forum:localhost","artwhisk_duffb","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "artwhisk_duffb", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("artwhisk_forum");

I filled out the install info thus:

Photopost database host:localhost
Photopost database name:artwhisk_forum
Photopost database user:artwhisk_duffb
Database password:<the password>
Photopost database prefix: (left as default)p p_
User Database Host (enter same info as above if not integrating with a third party forum): I am trying to integrate with vbulletin. I left defaults and ran it without success and changed it all to the same as above and ran it with the same result. Which one should it be?

Any ideas to get past step 3?
