Thanks for your answer Laurent. It turns out I was logging into the
database with the default MySQL 'user' as opposed to 'root'. So when I
logged in as root admin, all was fine, I changed passwords, created a user,
and I can go about managing the database.
I'm actually running otrs on an XPSP2 machine, and I tried PHPMyAdmin
already, but I had difficulties installing the PHP. During the installation
of PHP, a list of available extensions are given and It's recommended to
install only the necessary extensions as problems can arise if you install
everything (I did try that - and problems did indeed arise..).
I couldn't find out which were the correct extensions to install (this was
my first encounter with PHP) and when someone suggested the desktop GUI
MySQL Administrator, I thought I'd try that.
I still would have like to get PHP installed, as it could be something I'd
look into working with.
If anyone knows what extensions I should install, I'd gladly take any
advice!
Thanks again

Hi,
Your problem seems to be only related with bad/insufficient privileges
accorded to your otrs user.
phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool to easily manage MySQL servers, it could
help on your case : http://www.phpmyadmin.net/
You will probably also need to read some documentations about MySQL
Administration, you will find many howtos on Google, this one can be a
beginning :
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch34_:_Basic
_MySQL_Configuration
Basic steps of the OTRS installation procedure can also be useful since
it seems all is not properly configure on your current installation :

Hi,
Im running OTRS 2.1.7, and Ive been having a problem with Apache
failing. So I want to upgrade to 2.2 hoping this might fix it. What
this entails is backing up the MySQL database, uninstalling the current
version of OTRS, and then reinstalling the new one, making sure to copy
over my config files.
Now, Im not knowledgeable of MySQL at all, so I want to use a
user-friendly application to work with the database in order to avoid
errors. I downloaded and installed MySQL tools from the MySQL website,
and the Administrator tool is picking up the MySQL database using the
default OTRS Username and Password. The Administrator isnt connecting
to the database correctly however, when I so into User Administration, I
get the following error:
A MySQL error was encountered. The message is: Could not fetch user
names. The following error occurred: SELECT command denied to user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for table user (1142).
As far as I can find out, this means that the proper user privileges
have not been set for the database, but I dont know how to fix this, or
how to adjust and save the correct config files.
If someone could point me in the right direction, Id really appreciate
it.
Thanks!
Emily
