Help getting past Database Setup step

[gengo]

The reason it's complaining about the cache directory being unwritable is because you're specifying a uri (http://blah blah blah) rather than a local path (/home/username/public_html/blah blah blah).

Thanks, I got that fixed! But originally it said (https: blah) but now it does not. Is that a bad thing?

Any ideas on the : PHP open_basedir restrictions

As for the last big stop sign, that's an authentication error with mysql. This can be a little more difficult to nail down without help from your web host, depending on the level of access they give you.

Are you sure you entered the MySQL username and password correctly? (This may very well be different from the username and password you use to access other areas of your web host.)

I created a user for the database and gave them "all" priveledges. It is a different username and password than the one I use to login to the cpanel.

OSH, as far as I can recall, did not give me any specific username/password that I had to use to access the database, but I have not contacted them yet about this.

If / when I do, how would I best describe this problem? Would the image tell them enough information, or do I need to use specific wording?

Again, this is my first time doing this.

Thank you very much, tkroh!
