is "pimp* a valid DB Host? If MySQL is on the same box as your web server change that to 'localhost'. To create your database do: /path/to/mysql/mysqladmin -u<user> -p<password> create geeklog Then run your install script.---The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.
