Need Help with Wordpress setup

Night Fire · #1 16th April 2008, 02:09 PM

Being very new to to this (this being Linux and and wordpress) I need some major help.

I was able to install the packages. From the setup guide @ http://derekhildreth.com/blog/index....dpressorg-blog

Code:

yum install mysql-server mysql-administrator mysql mysql-gui-common php-mysql wordpress

This was fine. Next I tried

Code:

mysqladmin -u root password 'passwordyouwant'

I put the password in I wanted. Do I need to change the word root?

I then logged into Mysql

Code:

mysql -u root -p

I created the database

Code:

create database wordpress;

Now this is where I;m stuck.

Code:

grant all privileges on wordpress.* to username identified by ‘password‘;

I tried different name and password and I keep getting the same error.
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '‘***********‘' at line 1

Hope someone can help.
