accessing with above credentials and creating a table works fine:
grsa@grsa-koha3:/$ mysql -ukohaadmin -hlocalhost -p**** -Dkoha Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 170 Server version: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 (Ubuntu)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> create table test (name char(50)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test; Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> drop table test; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
You may try to create all tables by hand and see if web installer can go to the next step. Find in your Koha directory a file named kohastructure.sql. Use it to build your Koha DB schema: cat kohastructure.sql | mysql -ukohaadmin -p*** koha Tell us it it helps. -- Frédéric
