 * Hey guys,
    New to the board so I hope I’m doing this correctly, I search and 
   read a number of post but I can’t seem to get my installation going.
 * I’ve uploaded everything to [http://ouralbum.isayisay.com/wordpress/](http://ouralbum.isayisay.com/wordpress/)
 * but when I run the installation on
    [http://ouralbum.isayisay.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://ouralbum.isayisay.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
 * I get the “Error establishing a database connection”. I’ve tripled checked that
   I have the db_name, login and password correct.
 * One thing I’m not sure is whether my php is setup correctly. My db_name is set
   to myalbum.isayisay.com, but the weird thing when I log in it says I don’t have
   permission to create databases, so I’m not sure if that’s a problem or not.
 * Any information you guys can provide is greatly appreciated!!

 * That sounds like either a PHP or MySQL mis-configuration. Are you trying to setup
   locally on a PC or a Mac?

 * Hi all.
 * I think I am having the same problems.
 * I got everything up to the server. I ran the [http://www.echo9er.net/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.echo9er.net/blog/wp-admin/install.php),
   and got all the way through the password.
 * When I logged on, I got some error messages.
 * I closed everything, opened my browser and pointed to [http://www.echo9er.net/blog/wp-admin](http://www.echo9er.net/blog/wp-admin),
   logged on with the username and password sent via email and was faced with the
   following errors:
