~ Installed MYSQL - went well
~ Created MYSQL account\password for geeklog - completed
~ Geeklog (1.5.1) install (index.php) - This is where it all went crazy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ When I try to install geeklog - If I set the MYSQL username and password it errors and tells me incorrect database information.
~ If I use the same username and leave the password blank - geeklog inastalls and no problems.
~ I can login to MYSQL with the username and password with no problems from terminal.
~ I can login to MYSQLADMINISTRATOR with the username and password with no problems
Thoughts\Suggestions
Thanks,
Max

Sounds like you only created the administrator account for MYSQL. Now you have to make a database and user account and grant that user account access to the database.

I created a specific account for Geeklog and assigned it a password. I also created a database specifically for geeklog and assigned the username rights to the database.
ex:
~ username - geeky
~ password - xxxxxxx
~ database - geeklogtest
~ geeky has admin (all) privileges to geeklogtest

check the socket used in /etc/my.cnf
It should be /var/mysql/mysql.sock
You'll have to restart mysql if you change it.

I too have this problem, however I am hosted on godaddy and unable to access the mysql cnf.
It acts like it cannot contact the server, yet I can acess mysqladmin and I can ping the server.
I tried localhost originally, then I remembered that godaddy uses separate mysql servers and went to the ip address, but to no avail.
Is there anything I can do? I really don't feel like using php-nuke, and I'm more interested in GeekLog!

Well, I don't know anything about GoDaddy's setup, but there
are[*1] users who have Geeklog up and running at GoDaddy.
Don't they provide the necessary information? Try asking their customer support if you can't find it.

They have some instructions online:
http://help.godaddy.com/article/1361?[*2]
But anyway, what it the error that is being displayed?
And if you don`t have problems "If I use the same username and leave the password blank - geeklog inastalls and no problems." what`s the problem then?
