I am having trouble with the mysql part of setting up joomla 1.5 this is what i put in for info plus my password

<H3 class=title-smenu title=Basic>Basic Settings

Database Type
Select Type mysql mysqli This is probably MySQL Host Name
This is usually localhost or a host name provided by the hoster User Name
This can be the default MySQL username root or a username provided by the hoster, or one that you have created whilst setting up your database server. Password
For site security using a password for the MySQL account is mandatory. This is the same password used to access your database. This may again be preset by your hoster. Database Name
Some hosts allow only a certain DB name per account. If this is the case use the table prefix option in the following Advanced Parameters section to distinguish more than one Joomla! site.

and this is the error i get
</H3>An Error has occurred!:

An error occurred while trying to create the database Haunted.
The User may not have privileges to create a database. The required database may need to be created separately before you can install Joomla!.

Access denied for user 'james'@'localhost' to database 'Haunted' SQL=CREATE DATABASE `Haunted` CHARACTER SET `utf8`

Can any one help please

Go to cPanel -> MySQL Databases
Choose your database and user.
-> User To Database and set "All privileges"

Hello. I am getting the same error message when configuring Joomla 1.5. The user is set to all privileges already.

My settings are:
Database Type: MySQL
Host Name: localhost
Username: raindrop_user
Password: (password for the user)
Database Name: joomla15

Your help is much appreciated.

Sorry, please excuse the post above. I found my answer! Database name needed to be changed.

Good to hear you found the answer, but this topic is from 2008. Please don't bring back old, dusty topics.
