Hi all. I'm getting stuck on install step 5 so I'm looking for some guidance.

I enter all of my SQL info and when I press save the page reloads and I get the following message:

We received the following database related errors:
localhost: Access denied for user: 'mymcbri_sqluser@localhost' to database 'gallery2'

I installed PHPBB and Coppermine this past week as well and I'm pretty sure I used the same SQL setup procedures for both of those and they installed fine.

So I'm wondering if there's some setting in mySQL that I need to tweak for G2 (I'm an SQL newbie) or if there's some bit of code I can look at to steer me in the right direction?

All of my info is below...

Thanks, Shawn

are you sure the database name is gallery2? and not something like username_gallery2? and the username mymcbri_sqluser is the right one? perhaps you'll have to add user mymcbri_sqluser in your database management tool as a user of db mymcbri_sqluser (grant permissions).
there's nothing special in the way G2 uses the mysql db.

Yep. It was a rookie mistake. I forgot the mymcbri_ prefix for the database name. I realized it about 5 minutes after I posted. :-?

I'm on to step 6 now, wish me luck. :) Thanks for the quick response.
