which documentation did U read?

try using "root" as the login name.

During the install process, there are two sets of passwords you have to keep track of.

The first set is passwords to access MySQL. Those are maintained by MySQL itself and you have to know some MySQL to set those.

The second set is passwords to access Mantis. These are maintained by the PHP programs in Mantis. (What's confusing is that they too are stored in a MySQL database.)

The error message "Host 'webbox296.server-home.net' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" tells you that MySQL is not allowing the apache/php program to talk to the database. To add a user to MySQL, log into MySQL and do this:

> grant all on *.* to mantis@webbox296;

Then set that user's password:

> set password for mantis = password('stupidpassword');

Once that's done, you have to create the Mantis database. You do this from a shell:

# mysql -u mantis -pstupidpassword < /var/www/html/mantis/sql/db_generate.sql
