[Koha] Cannot create koha database during installation

[ils rehoboth]

while
installing koha-2.2.9 on ubuntu 6.06 i encountered the following...
MYSQL ROOT USER PASSWORD
 
 To create the koha database, please enter your mysql server's root user
 password:
 
 Password:
 
  
  CREATING DATABASE
 
 Creating the MySQL database for Koha...
  
  ERROR CREATING DATABASE
 
 Couldn't connect to the MySQL server for the reason given above. This is a
 serious problem, the database will not get installed.
 
 Press <ENTER> to continue:



i continued
with with installation to the end. As a result of the above problem
everything seems to work (adding members, searching and importing
records from the internet using z39.50) But it
doesnt add bibliographic records to the database- whenever i try to
add records i get a server error.
will be grateful if
somebody can sort me out.
