Whilst I agree that the installation can be confusing the problem that you having is a MySQL one. The link I gave: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html
explains the problem, it is to do with the new password hashing used in later versions of MySQL. You must make sure that you have set the accounts used in the midgard installation to use the old password hashes for both the admin user (which creates the tables) and the user that midgard uses for reading/writing the tables. You can test if all is working with the old style passwords, by say trying to install phpmyadmin on your server. If that works, then midgard should work fine. I'll reiterate, the problem is with MySQL not midgard! If you can't be bothered to read/understand around the MySQL issue then you will have problems with other CMSs out there such as postnuke. > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I am using midgard on SuSE9.3 for a few month now - running smooth, no >> trouble with mysql at all.. > >Wish I could say the same - I've deleted the whole lot and reinstalled but >now its just going around in circles with datagard stating it can't connect >to the database - stange how it manages to create all the tables but not >import the data to them. > >So now I've given up - if the product is going to put up such a fight to be >installed then I really do have better and other things to be getting on >with. > >Leaves me with the impression that a better installation process should be >used. > >Many thanks guys for your help - I'll keep an eye on freshmeat for future >announcments and hope to see some progress and improvments in the future. > >Clifford > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
