Error: [DROP TABLE IF EXISTS upgrade_exceptions;]

Help! :(

I have gone thru all the installation procedures, creating MySQL database (host, user name, password,etc) and I am getting to this error.

Installation In Progress...

0 Install Error: Could not connect to the Database
in:
[DROP TABLE IF EXISTS upgrade_exceptions;]

Please find below some details from my server and MySQL:

System:Linux ws-9 2.6.57.282lustre.1.4.8 #1 SMP Tue Jan 16 14:40:10 EST 2007 i686

MySQL Version: 5.0.30-Debian_1~bpo.1

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Well, mate did you supply the correct hostname, user and password for database connection?
Can you please check it again when that screen comes up when you try to call the install script?
Thanks

Hi superprg,

I did setup and supply the correct hostname, user and password for database connection. I even done it 5 times.

I have also create and re-create mySQL database and I do have the some problem.

Do you think it might be other cause, that is generating this error?

Thx,
Chris

Create a php script and write this in that

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
   die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?> 

Let me know what are the results

I am also having problems. I ran your script and it 'Connected successfully'.

Thanks,

Can I see the url?
