I've freshly installed CentOS 5 32-bit on a pc, performed a yum update and yum upgrade. I then did a yum install of mysql. I finally picked up fresh copies of phpmysql and bugzilla and put both in my /var/www/html directory. mysql is running. I am able to use mysql -u root to get into it, and phpmysql is able to get it, too. After runs of checksetup.pl to ensure all required pre-requisites were installed, I ran it one more time, and get the following: Creating database bugs... The 'bugs' database could not be created. The error returned was: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'bugs' This might have several reasons: * MySQL is not running. * MySQL is running, but there is a problem either in the server configuration or the database access rights. Read the Bugzilla Guide in the doc directory. The section about database configuration should help. * Your password for the 'bugs' user, specified in $db_pass, is incorrect, in './localconfig'. * There is a subtle problem with Perl, DBI, or MySQL. Make sure all settings in './localconfig' are correct. If all else fails, set '$db_check' to 0. [root at localhost bugzilla]# What do I need to do next? I tried creating an empty database called bugs for the script to hook into, but no luck. I tried creating a user bugs with full permission, but no luck. Thanks for any leads. Scott
