Hi,
I'm trying to install the latest version of Mantis to a hosting enviornment where I don't have root mysql access. Therefore, I get this error when attempting to install ...
Create database if it does not exist
BAD Does administrative user have access to create the database? ( Access denied for user: 'remanr@localhost' to database 'bugtracker' )
What can I do to work around this? Can I create the db manually and then install? What do I name the db?
Thanks, -

You can create the database yourself and create a MySQL user that has write access to that database. You can name them anything you want, but you have to tell the install script what those names are.
If you can't get root access to the database, then you could create two users for the Mantis database: one with just create, insert, update, delete access to the tables and one with all the other access privileges. You'll need to tell both users to the install script when you run it.
