Help with install

Hello all, Ok so i got all the files on to my host, and i am trying to run the installer. When I try it keeps asking for mysql server. I checked with my host and I have the right one, but i keep getting this error msg. " Oops. We came across some problems while setting up Vanilla... We couldn't connect to the server you provided (mysqlhost). Are you sure you entered the right server, username and password?" I know the username, password and database name are correct( Copy and paste, took out the extra spaces). Is there something I am missing?

    you sure that shouldnt be localhost?

    If the database server is not localhost you'll need to ask your hosting provider what name they keep the db server under. It could be anything if it's not localhost.

    I had the same problem. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. My host uses Cpanel, so I created the database and the database user with the GUI. My problem was caused by the fact that I didn't assign my database user to the database. It turned out to be a silly error on my part.
