[mannuri]

Hi there,

 

I tried install many times the the mediawiki, but allawys get an error.

After some searsh i found out that stevie server have a problem at database, so i trie a manual install where i change to MyISAM.

 

But the error dont go away.

A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.

• Query:
  CREATE DATABASE `my_wiki`CHARACTER SET utf8
  
• Function: MysqlInstaller::setupDatabase
  
• Error: 1044 Access denied for user 'miranda'@'localhost' to database 'my_wiki' (localhost)
  

Backtrace:

#0 /home1/miranda/public_html/mediawiki-1.23.0/includes/db/Database.php(1123): DatabaseBase->reportQueryError('Access denied f...', 1044, 'CREATE DATABASE...', 'MysqlInstaller:...', false)

You are getting that error because your database name needs to start with your cPanel username and an underscore (miranda_). It is trying to create a database named my_wiki. It should be miranda_my_wiki. Change your database name and try installing again.

Hi I had the same problem when trying to use the web updater in Mediawiki to setup the database. It would not allow me to create the date base all I did was I had to manually go into the maintenice/table.sql folder and filer and do it like that it worked. But you have to manually do it.
