database user

Post by ER »

Dear developer:

I tried to install the latest release of s9y but failed. The error message from the installer is access denied for user.... So it looks like I should set up the user in mysql before running the installer, right? what priivileges should be setup for the user? Should I setup the database in mysql before running the installer?

mysql database is up and running.

thank you very much.

That's true, Serendipity needs existing db User name and existing (empty) Database.

The user should have those privileges: SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,ALTER,INDEX,DROP.

And yes, create an empty database first.

Have fun! :)
