By default anonymous user ('') has permissions only on the database
'test'. You should have permissions to create databases. You can find
a lot of info about MySQL privilege system in our manual:
      http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Privilege_system.html
      http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/s/User_Account_Management.html

PD> Any help appreciated.
