Hi
I am trying to install wordpress on a bpweb.net host. When I get to phpMyadmin I have no privileges to add a user to the database. Could somebody help me?
I have seen that in the past people with similar poblems have posted to this forum. But i didn't found any problem solving answer.
Thanks and Help.
In your host you will need to create a db and a user and link it.
They can guide you better.

You shouldn't have to create a user, if you can access phpMyAdmin, then you're in as a user. By default, it's the name of your account.

What do you mean, it didn't work? What happens when you try creating a new DB in admin's front page? Where it says "Create new database"?
At the top of phpMyAdmin it should say something like:
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl2
MySQL 4.0.25-standard running on localhost as your_username@localhost
If it says something like that, then you're logged into it as your account.
Does your hosting account even allow you to run a MySQL DB? Some plans out there don't.

Hi
Problem is solved.
The key was that the user was not created by me directly, but automaticly by my hosting service. They finnaly answered me with the correct user name.
Thanks all for your help.
Best!
