Error 1044 on Step3 of Install

[Morgo]

Attempting to connect...

Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.

Error number: 1044

Error description: Access denied for user: 'df3@localhost' to database 'forum'

Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.

This is the message when I get to step 3. Since I am on a virtual server with Powersurge (www.powersurge.net), what am I going to have to ask them to do? Is there anything that I can do? I believe I have telnet access to the server...but have no idea what I should do with it :)

You should ask them if you have permission to create a database in MySQL, and if not have them create one for you. It is sounding like you do not have permission to create database needed.

Well, the problem was caused be keeping the database name as 'forum'. Once I changed the database name to my user name (tech support obviously created the db in my name) everything went hunky dory :)

Thanks for the help!
