I suggest logging into mysql at the command prompt and do the following.
use mysql;
select * from user where User='test1user';
select * from db where User='test1user';
This will show you what priviledges that user currently has. Also, if you see the password there in clear text, that is probably your problem. If that is the case do this.
SET PASSWORD FOR test1user@localhost=PASSWORD('somepassword');
NO, nop, no, no! I give up! That is impossible! That makes more than 14 days I'm trying to get this **** running and it is impossible.
I created several databases and the phpBB can't connect to any of it. I have no idea why.
14 days ago when I tryed it first time everything was running. Then I deleted the database ans since then I can't get it running again. What is the matter?
I made a format to all the hard disk(perhaps it will solve the problem) I installed Apache, PHP, mySQL and I have still the same error. Why?
I don't know what to do anymore. I was trying so much things and nothing is running. That is realy a pity. :(:(:(
Give this a try, it goes through everything from beginning to end and leaves out a lot of guesswork:

Danielsd: I gave you the answer a couple of posts ago. Look closely at the entries I quoted bold. The database name configured in phpBB must have the same name as the database created in mySQL.
You seem to have created a database in MySQL called phpBB2. But on the phpBB installpage you have configured it to use a database called test1. That's not going to work.
Today I was trying it again.
Look at that:

When I did the following thing:
And it installed it with out any problem. Damn, it was so easy and lost so much time :(Quote:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
-> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
Thank, thank, thank you all for the help!
Techies (including me) tend to overlook the most obvious and simple ;)
Glad to hear you finaly got it working :)
