So does a MySQL user named "syphon" exist and does it have the proper permissions on the database? bye, Dirk

the user name exists but i dont know how to give it permission to the database? And i'm running a apache server, does the database itself need to be on that server or not?

The MySQL server doesn't have anything to do with Apache. It can run on the same machine, but it can also run on another machine. To grant permissions to a MySQL user, you need to log in to MySQL as the (MySQL) root user and do this: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name TO user@host IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; (replacing the lowercase bits with the actual names / values). bye, Dirk

If you're running your own server try phpmyadmin at http://www.phpmyadmin.net which provides a nice GUI for MySQL which can help you to easily administrate your MySQL databases... Otherwise its all command line from here... It takes ten minutes to install, 5 minutes to learn how to create databases and administer priviledges... Its a real piece of cake and you should be all ready to install Geeklog within just 15 minutes... Good luck Smile---Victor B. Gonzalez
