Thanks, I supose I had a typo somewhere. I apreciate all the help with
this.

Ubfortunately  I am still confused. It appears that there are 3 levels of
username/password involved here:

1. OS
2. MySQL
3. Ampache

Is this correct?

In any case, this is where I am. Loged in as the OS root user, I am able to
atach to Mysql and I have run the following commands:

create databse ampache ;
use ampache ;
GRANT ALL ON ampache to ampache_user ;

Is this correct? So I should have a Mysql user called ampache_user that can
access the ampache database, correct?

So. I am at step 3 in the web based setup, and trying to proced to step 3,
but I get an error about "Database Selection Failure Check Existance of
ampache "

The /usr/local/www/ampache/config directory permisons look like this:

drwxr-xr-x   2 www   www   512 Jan  3 23:47 config

Apache should be running as www, if I am not mistaken.

after re-reading the MySQL docs, I changed the grant to:

GRANT ALL ON ampache to 'ampache_user'@'localhost' ;

and now when I try to go to step 3 I get:

Error: Config file not found or Unreadable

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong now?

Sorry for my ignorance in the use of MySQL etc.
