    I'm trying to install 1.0rc5 but can't. I'm running XP, PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 4.1.10a. Here's the error:

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

    DB Error: connect failed
    [nativecode=Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)] ** Array

      Make sure you have the correct database name specified, that the database exists (ie. you've created it using mysql or a MySQL admin tool), and that the password you specified for your root user is correct.

      Also, check that you have the correct version of MySQL selected in the first drop down - in my case I got the same error as you until I chose MySQL < 4.1.
