OK, sorry for this noob MYSQL question now...but I have very little experience with it. I'm learning on the fly here.
I am at the MYSQL prompt. What is the easiest way for me to ensure the MySQL permissions are set correctly from this point?
(I'll provide instructions for creating a new MySQL user for maintenance purposes...)
GRANT ALL ON wikidb.* TO "wikiadmin"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "password";
Replace "wikidb" with the database name, "wikiadmin" with the username to be used for the maintenance user, and "password" with a suitable password.
If the web server is not the same machine as the database server, then replace "localhost" with the host name of the application server.
You can then insert these credentials into AdminSettings.php.
