PHP-Nuke Installation

[lemske]

I saw a thread on this same issue that was previously resolved, but it didn't contain any information on how to fix the issue.

I am attempting to install php-nuke 8 with the following information:

Host Name: localhost
MySQL User Name: my x10hosting.com username (I also created a SQL account and tried to use that with no luck)
MySQL Password: my x10hosting.com password
MySQL Database Name: Some name I chose, this is not important.

Error: A database error occurred: Access denied for user 'me' to database 'mydbname' SQL=CREATE DATABASE...

thats the only details?

I'm at the first step of the installation where it asks for the pertinent information to be able to install.

Step 1, which is where i'm at, is the MySQL database configuration. It asks for various information. That information is listed in my post above. However, I will provide it again here:

Host Name
MySQL User Name
MySQL Password
MySQL Database Name

This is what I entered:

Host Name: localhost
MySQL User Name: my username
MySQL Password: my password
MySQL Database Name: name of the database I wanted created

Problem: A database error occurred: Access denied for user 'me' to database 'my proposed database' SQL=CREATE DATABASE 'my proposed database'

I have tried various things for this and am, as of yet, unable to make it work.

That error happens when you don't give permissions to the user to modify the database.

First of all, you should not use your hosting account information for "MySQL username and password".
You have to create the database, and the user with password at "cPanel > MySQL Databases"
Then where it says "Add User To Database", add the user to the database you're trying to use.
