    My new host, lunarpages, runs MySQL databases on a different host. In the Installation Wizard screen, I keep getting an 1130 error, . So I thought I would backdoor the problem by going to myPhpAdmin and manually creating the database there. What I get there is 'Access denied for user X for database Y'

    Can someone tell me what is going on? I don't understand. I didn't have this problem in previous install attempts on my old host.

    And as soon as I say that … I got it!

    a. In phpMyAdmin I simply had to make my database name prefixed with my username in order to create it.

    b. Then I had to point to lunarpage's MySQL server instead of my own domain name.

    At that point, the Installation Wizard happily created the tables.

    Never mind! :-)
