Hi all,
I have been installing many mediawiki wikis over the past few years using a remote mysql
server. I do not use the mysql "root" account but instead use another user,
which has had the proper privileges to install the database, until version 1.16.0. When I
install the mediawiki version 1.16.0 into my document root directory and run the
installation, the installation runs fine up to "Granting user permissions..." at
which point I get:
Query "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON 'database_name'.* TO
'database_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'database_password' "
failed with error code "Access denied for user mysql_user@mysql_host to database
'database_name' (database_server)".
Just to make sure all was ok I was able to install version 1.15.2 without error.
Have the privilege requirements for the database user privileges changed from 1.15 to 1.16
for installing mediawiki? I did not see any mention of this in the release notes. I am
using mysql version 5.1.16-beta.
Any help appreciated...
