mysql problems and empty install.php-page

  • Hello out there !

    I′m reading manuals about wordpress since 10.00 in the morning. I can sing the tutorials by now and am getting a bit desperate, cause it′s still not working. Here′s what I did:
    I uploaded all the files on the server, I edited the wp-config.php (and I′m certain, there′s no problem with my editing). I tried to execute all the strange commands in mysql, and HERE there′s something “different”/wrong.

    These are my database grants:

    Grants for eraserh1@database                                           |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'eraserh1'@'database'                            |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eraserh1.eraserh1 TO 'eraserh1'@'database' |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    I don′t seem to have privilege grant on “eraserh1.*”. So again and again I tried to execute:
    mysql> grant all on eraserh1.* to 'eraserh1'@'database' identified by 'mypasswd';

    (Yes, my DB host is DATABASE, and yes i did type in my real password ;)) the answer I got was:
    ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: 'eraserh1@%' to database 'mysql'

    well, and I can′t create a different database than eraserh1. When I try to:
    mysql> create database wordpress;
    then I get a:
    ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: 'eraserh1@%' to database 'wordpress'

    I thought that wouldn′t be a problem, since I have all the data I want to fill in my wp-config.php.
    But when I try to open wp-admin/install.php NOTHING happens !

    Well, this afternoon I had alle the wordpress files in a wordpress/wp-admin/install.php – location so I at least got a
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: did_action() in /home/e/eraserhead.siteburg.com/WWW/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1356
    when I tried to open the location, but that′s a different story and bothers me no more since I got that problem solved ??

    Well, but I really need some help with mysql-problem. I don′t think I have the rights to create a different mysql database, but do I really need that? Don′t I have enough information to get wordpress working with the database I have?

    Thanks for help and listening

  • When logging into your mysql you need to use the root mysql account.

    I am also having trouble opening wp-admin/install.php. When i try to install wordpress to the root directory, there seems to be a problem with the default folder already there. I can’t delete that either.

    I hate to sound like a broken record, but’I’m also having trouble opening wp-admin/install.php.
    When i go to wp-admin/install.php, i get the following message.
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: did_action() in /home/wzmzt/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1356
    how do I correct this error
