[Mediawiki-l] setup keeps failing

[Richard Gravois]

It is hosted by a third party and I go in through
cPanel which seems to be very powerful without
comforting documentation.

Should these users be setup inside of mysql?
The username for the site 'mysite' is mysitec and each
user that I define under mysql has the suffix mysitec_

so I ran setup with

mysitec_wikiuser and got the messages:



Please include all of the lines below when reporting
installation problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
