Mantis installation

Post by ogeorg »

I am completelly lost with the installation of Mantis, namely with the usernames and passwords.

Username (for Database)
Password (for Database)

Admin Username (to create Database)
Admin Password (to create Database)

Which password corresponds to what? I am installing Mantis on my own computer to try Mantis. MySql has username "root" and password is blank. I want to have (mantis) admin account admin/admin. So I put

Username (for Database) = root
Password (for Database) =

Admin Username (to create Database) = admin
Admin Password (to create Database) = admin

but then I get:

Attempting to connect to database as admin BAD
Does administrative user have access to the database? ( Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) )

So I try

Username (for Database) = root
Password (for Database) =

Admin Username (to create Database) = root
Admin Password (to create Database) =

After a few tries, I can get through to the login page, put "root / {blank}", the I get the message:

"Your account may be disabled or blocked or the username/password you entered is incorrect."

So, what are valid values?

If yor have one account, for example admin/pass, which have permition to modify database, you must input this in first fields.
If you have two accounts, one of this don't have permition (admin/pass), and second (root/morepass) with permition, you must input admin/pass in first fields, and root/rootpass to second fields.
