Could not connect to or create the PhotoPost database.
 

I am getting the following error when trying to do a clean install of Photopost 6.2

I know my SQL settings are OK, I've tested them at the command line.
Any suggestions?

That error is pretty self explanatory the user does not have either create priveledges.

It doesn't appear to be that simple. I take the MySQL settings from the installer page, paste them directly into the mysql command and I can create a table.


mysql -ucarshowg_carshow -pXXXXXXXXXX carshowg_carshowgallery

mysql> CREATE TABLE example(
-> id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
-> PRIMARY KEY(id),
-> name VARCHAR(30),
-> age INT);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.15 sec)

well double check the host username password database are all settings that are correct as the error you post suggests it is not.
