You need to set GRANTs to create on the host. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html
-----Original Message----- From: Doug Pinkerton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 1:26 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Permissions block database creation I'm a total newbie working through the tutorial in DuBois's _MySQL_. I've got MySQL running on my PowerBook. In Terminal, I can use the mysql client to get responses to things like SELECT NOW(). But the command CREATE DATABASE sampdb; results in the following error. ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'sampdb' mysql> I am unable to determine its location, which causes me to suspect that it is in the portion of the system not accessible from the Finder. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
