Newbie trying to set up the database

[ScottyK]

Greetings!

Newbie here trying to install the program, and I'm stuck on the database part. (Installation 3/6)

I have little experience with databases, so I'm not sure what to use for the answers.

Right now the default entries are as follows:

Database hostname - localhost
Database name (or filename in case of SQLite): - urddb
Database username: - urd_user

If I run with the defaults, this is the error I get..

Could not connect to database: mysqli error: [1045: Access denied for user 'urd_user'@'localhost' (using password: NO)] in CONNECT(localhost, 'urd_user', '****', urddb)


No idea what to input for database name.

If there is a FAQ or a walkthrough on how to set this up, I would appreciate it! Really want to check out this program, because I want to get away from using a windows newsreader via WINE. Thanks!

Running Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit, 4GB Dual Core machine.

You probably have to fill in the correct values for the root user too

Where it says:
Database root username:
Database root password:

If you don't know these anymore, you can reset it: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html

And you probably would want to use a user password too (hit the generate password button on the right)
