 * Hello out there !
 * I´m reading manuals about wordpress since 10.00 in the morning. I can sing the
   tutorials by now and am getting a bit desperate, cause it´s still not working.
   Here´s what I did:
    I uploaded all the files on the server, I edited the wp-config.
   php (and I´m certain, there´s no problem with my editing). I tried to execute
   all the strange commands in mysql, and HERE there´s something “different”/wrong.
 * These are my database grants:
 *     ```
       Grants for eraserh1@database                                           |
       +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'eraserh1'@'database'                            |
       | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eraserh1.eraserh1 TO 'eraserh1'@'database' |
       +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       ```
   
 * I don´t seem to have privilege grant on “eraserh1.*”. So again and again I tried
   to execute:
    `mysql> grant all on eraserh1.* to 'eraserh1'@'database' identified
   by 'mypasswd';`
 * (Yes, my DB host is DATABASE, and yes i did type in my real password ;)) the 
   answer I got was:
    `ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: 'eraserh1@%' to database'
   mysql'`
 * well, and I can´t create a different database than eraserh1. When I try to:
    `
   mysql> create database wordpress;` then I get a: `ERROR 1044: Access denied for
   user: 'eraserh1@%' to database 'wordpress'`
 * I thought that wouldn´t be a problem, since I have all the data I want to fill
   in my wp-config.php.
    But when I try to open wp-admin/install.php NOTHING happens!
 * Well, this afternoon I had alle the wordpress files in a wordpress/wp-admin/install.
   php – location so I at least got a
    `Fatal error: Call to undefined function:
   did_action() in /home/e/eraserhead.siteburg.com/WWW/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 1356` when I tried to open the location, but that´s a different story
   and bothers me no more since I got that problem solved 😉
 * Well, but I really need some help with mysql-problem. I don´t think I have the
   rights to create a different mysql database, but do I really need that? Don´t
   I have enough information to get wordpress working with the database I have?
 * Thanks for help and listening

 * When logging into your mysql you need to use the root mysql account.

 * I am also having trouble opening wp-admin/install.php. When i try to install 
   wordpress to the root directory, there seems to be a problem with the default
   folder already there. I can’t delete that either.
