I don't understand this. I have created a database:

mysql> create database ezpublish2;

and users

mysql> grant all privileges on Exponential.* to Exponential@localhost identified by
'Exponential';

then I go to the wizard and fill in:

Type MySQL
Servername: Exponential (I presume?)
Username: Exponential (I presume?)
Password: Exponential (I presume?)
Socket (optional):

but still get the error message:

The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again

Please help!! I really wan to try this becuase it may well be the one we buy!!

Hi,

if your database name is 

ezpublish2

then your grant sql is wrong :

should be

mysql> grant all privileges on ezpublish2.* to Exponential@localhost identified by
'Exponential';

OK, now I have created a new database:

mysql> create database ezno;

and a new user

mysql> grant all privileges on ezno.* to 'ezno'@'localhost' identified by 'ezno';

I then fill in the values:

Servername: ezno
Username: ezno
Password: ezno
Socket (optional): (blank)

and I still get

The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again.

Any ideas??
