Hi, I assume that you installed mysql from repository and did not alter the configuration.
Login with root into mysql and then: 1. create your drupal database # create database drupal; 2. create a user account for it # create user 'drupal_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_random_stuff_here'; 3. grant permissions to this database # grant all privileges on drupal.* TO 'drupal_user'@'localhost'; 4. flush privileges # flus privileges; I don't know why you listed every privilege in your grant but just stick to this and it will work. Downloading the current drupal version from upstream is ok since they will usually have never versions than you can find in repository. That shoudl work out of the box for you. ;) Cheers Am 15.08.16 um 07:17 schrieb Bill Wohler: > Bill Wohler <woh...@newt.com> wrote: > >> I'm getting the following: >> >> $ mysql -h localhost -u user >> Enter password: >> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using >> password: YES) >> >> This user was created with a fresh installation of mysql as (mysql) root >> with the following: >> >> mysql> create user 'user'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; >> Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) >> mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, >> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON database.* TO 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY >> 'password' with grant option; >> Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) >> >> I'm trying to create a database user for Drupal, but am not having any >> luck.
