   Hello,

   I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me. I've run a couple of google and wordpress search and haven't found anything useful.

   I have an existing somewhat custom blog connected to a MySQL database that I'm trying to move over to wordpress. The "import" option in wordpress under Tools does not list regular MySQL databases so I was not able to import directly from the wordpress admin panel.

   I did a search and came across a How-to here on Wordpress.org that shows how to import directly from the phpMyAdmin panel. Problem is I'm getting an error message that's totally baffled me. See below:

   Error
   SQL query:
   --
   -- Database: information_schema
   --
   CREATE DATABASE information_schema DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

   MySQL said: Documentation
   #1044 - Access denied for user 'phreshcc_grgry'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema'

   Does anyone know what this means and how I can get around it? Thanks in advance. This has become a three days headaches that I need to end.

   Thanks.

   The phpMyAdmin import thing would not seem practical from a MySQL database that is not a WordPress set of tables.

   Might look at using this:

   Same problem.

   CREATE DATABASE information_schema DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

   MySQL said: Documentation
   #1044 - Access denied for user 'lostrepublicus'@'%' to database 'information_schema'
