Hi Peachey, you are right. That's what is required by Hostgator. But my two
present webhosts don't require that. This problem is minor but it makes me
worry about other problems.
As you know, webhosts install a lot of security features in their
shared-hosting servers that makes it difficult to implement certain features
such as texvc, to mention one. As it is, one of my webhost still does not
know how to enable my texvc feature and so some of my articles appear as
garbage, eg.

Unless your using the root account which is unlikely

(and leave blank, eg no tables) and then attach a user to it so it has
permissions to use it and then run the installer telling it to use
that db and user account.
