Did you really create the user using "GRANT" or "INSERT"? To be sure the new permissions are read in run "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" as root on the mysql command line. > >> My second problem is really more a nuisance than a real problem.

Does the service start always report "[ FAILED ]"? You can try following: find in /etc/init.d/mysqld in the start() function the line starting with "ping=". Exchange the DUMMY (don't remember exactly) with mysqld. So the line looks then like: "ping="/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u mysqld ping" > Thank you for the help. You are welcome.
