   I'm attempting to set up a blog on my existing website - the intended address for the blog is http://darkren.com/blog. My site is hosted through Yahoo! Geocities. They are running MySQL 4.1.14, and I am using phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1.

   I created a new "wordpress" database, updated the wp-config.php file with all of my information, but when I try to run the install script I get an "Error establishing Database Connection" message.

   The only thing I can think of that might be the problem is this: in the WP install doc, it says to add a new user, but phpMyAdmin keeps telling me that I am not allowed to add a new user. I tried adding the username that I use to login to phpMyAdmin to the "wordpress" database, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
