joomla

Tue Feb 26 22:18:00 MST 2013

so is this for each 'site' I create? I did create a user and I am told:

An error occurred while trying to create the database onlineworkfinder.us.
The user may not have enough privileges to create a database. The required
database may need to be created separately before you can install Joomla!.

 which says  he doesn't have the proper permissions.. But the username is
'root'. Doesn't that mean he has permission to do anything? Please, tell me
what I need to do to give him the permissions he needs.

Well, this is strange: I can start mysql  as my user but not with sudo.

$ sudo mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: NO)

So what do I need to do?
