    I went through the install with no errors but when I attempt to access the base directory I see the following:
    Error: SQLSTATE  Access denied for user 'Jason'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

    I changed the global_setup file

    So this error is telling us that whatever credentials you put into global_setup file are incorrect. PHPDraft is going to 'localhost' (which is just the same server that PHP is on) and asking the MySQL database there to use the credentials you provided. Looks like user Jason is not correct?

    A few things:

    1. Ensure your database is on "localhost". If you have paid hosting, see where you should be pointing PHPDraft to. You'd have to change 'localhost' to whatever you need, perhaps 'mysql1.yourhostingprovider.com' in line 13.

    2. Ensure that "Jason" is the name of the MySQL username that has access to your PHPDraft database.

    Let me know if this helps at all.  In the future I'd like to get a web-based automated install process going, so you don't have to change files by hand.
