Re: “Access denied for user” during install?

Hey Chris,

I had created a second bbpress database called bbpress2 to see if that was the problem, which it wasn’t. The error message is an older one. The one I’m getting now is in reference to bbpress, not bbpress2 like above. But everything else is the same:

bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']
SHOW TABLES;

bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']
CREATE TABLE bb_forums ( forum_id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, forum_name varchar(150) NOT NULL default '', forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', forum_desc text NOT NULL, forum_parent int(10) NOT NULL default '0', forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default '0', topics bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', posts bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (forum_id) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']
CREATE TABLE bb_posts

Question: can I use the same database as my WordPress database?

I may call my hosting provider to see if there is something wrong with the way mysql databases are set up. Perhaps I can connect but can’t create tables?

Thanks for all your work on this!

Eric
