Re: [drupal-support] Installation issues

After downloading and untarring the Drupal software, I moved all files per the Drupal install instructions into /var/www/html.

I ran the next line in the installation instructions:

mysqladmin -u dba_user -p create drupal

It prompted for a password; I entered a password and got the following response:

mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'drupal''

The 'dba_user' is used in the example, but you'd probably want to use the MySQL 'root' account when setting up the drupal database.

From INSTALL.txt:

"In the following examples, 'dba_user' is an example MySQL user which has the CREATE and GRANT privileges. Use the appropriate user name for your system."
