    hi All, looks like I’ve hit a snag trying to run an install over at my new Site5 host setup.
    Connecting to the DB server came back success: --
    Connecting to database server: Success!
    - Checking MySQL server version: OK! Running: 5.0.91-community-log
    - Checking MySQL client version: OK! Running: 5.0.91
    --
    But then clicking the create or test selection of the database gave me this:
    → Create or test selection of your database.
    Checking database: MODX could not create your database. Please manually create your database and then try again.

    I thought I had the database and user created, not sure what I would of missed.
    also not used to apache hosting, not sure if all the permissions are preset on upload, what all to test for, I’m back to square one as a newbie on Apache hosting.
    I might just bug site5 I’m new on their CP setups also.

    [dang edit]Hey looks like my db user maybe didn’t get added to my db, trying that now...
    Thanks.

      Wha-bam looks like that was it, the hosting CP interface didn’t quite get my DB user added to my DB.
      Looks like a need practice with the CP interface tools....
      Hey anyways, looks like maybe I don’t need any help after all... So Far...

      Yep yup, hey I’m good all installed, almost painless.
      First app I tried installing on my new host, so that was the only thing that made it even a bit dicey.

      If all goes well, I’ll have a real site on my domain. smiley
      sidenote, this was so much easier than installing on an iis server... tongue
