    I think everything is set up right. After I go throught that set up screen I get the following error.

    The installation script could not connect to the database (bug_tracker) on the host (localhost) using the specified username and password.
    Please check these details are correct and that the database already exists then retry.

      Try if you can connect to the database on the commandline:

      mysql -u username -p password -h host bug_tracker

      Does the database exist??

      No, I could not connect with that command line.
      When I used "mysql bug_tracker" I could add tables and do naything I wanted to????

      Any Ideas,

      Thanks for your reply.

      Make sure you are using the same password and login on the setup form that you are using for the command-line client.  If you aren't using any for the command line client, then don't use any on the form.

      same problem here, however it works on the command
      line! I've tried several database names (created
      bug_tracker, its and so on) and granted ALL to the
      its user. Still nothing. Also, there is nothing in the
      mysql error logs? I tried both the rc1 and 0.8.2 to
      no avail.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.
