Just want to let you know that the documentation in pkg-message should be updated. It says: GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,INDEX, ALTER,CREATE,DROP,REFERENCES \ ON <database>.* TO <dbuser>@<host> IDENTIFIED BY '<password>'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; I also had to grant LOCK TABLES to get the website working properly. I am using MySQL 4.0.13. Regards, Jay Geeseman
