[Mediawiki-l] 1.1.0 install chokes: MySQL privilege problems?

[Calum Galleitch]

I'm trying to install 1.1.0 on a SuSE 8.1 default install (PHP 4.3.1, MySQL 
3.23.55, Apache 1.3.27).  It creates the database, copies all (or lots of, 
anyway) the files, and then falls apart trying to do this:

Query "GRANT ALL ON wikidb.* TO @'%' IDENTIFIED BY ''" failed.

I understand SQL as well as I understand Latin (not very well).  Assuming this 
means it needs more permissions, I've been trying to get it to access the 
database as root, and got no more joy.

I'm also getting (when I try off the wall ideas) lots of 'can't modify 
headers, already sent them' type errors; I managed to find something in the 
archives that suggested killing extraneous characters before and after <?php 
?> would help, but it doesn't seem to.  Register globals is on, I think 
that's all the obvious things covered.  Any bright ideas welcome :)

Many thanks,
C alum
