mysql grant syntax —

I was trying to follow these instructions (from here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install), and they don’t seem to work.

I tried this (copied from above site with appropriate db, host, and pw):
mysql> ”’GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ”databasename”.* TO “”wordpressusername””@””hostname”””’
-> ”’IDENTIFIED BY “”password””;”’

and it failed like and said that there was an error in the syntax (yes, mysql is working, yes, db has been created).

Are all of those single quotes supposed to be in there? Does have GRANT syntax that works?

thanks,
Robert
