   After I enter my blog title and e-mail and click "Install WordPress," I get a series of error messages, yet the final message said "success!" and gave me a password. Yet when I clicked the next prompt, I got sent back to the welcome page. I foolishly went through the process again 2 more times with the same result.

   I'm using Yahoo hosting (I know, I know) and in my struggles to get to this point, I used their internal tool to install MySQL admin tools in a seperate directory called "MySQL" on my server.

   I thought perhaps I need to use this tool to install these admin tools into one of the wordpress directories, but I didn't want to screw anything up any further

   Currently, I've re-named the wp-config.php on the root of my server because it appered that pretty much anyone who went to my site could have started inputing blog titles and e-mails simply by opening up the site (www.earthorbust.com)

   Thanks for any help you can offer.

   Thought this might help - here is an example of the first three error messages:

   WordPress database error: [Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' to database 'mysql']
   CREATE TABLE terms ( term_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', slug varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', term_group bigint(10) NOT NULL default 0, PRIMARY KEY (term_id), UNIQUE KEY slug (slug), KEY name (name) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

   WordPress database error: [Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' to database 'mysql']
   CREATE TABLE term_taxonomy ( term_taxonomy_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, term_id bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0, taxonomy varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', description longtext NOT NULL, parent bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0, count bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0, PRIMARY KEY (term_taxonomy_id), UNIQUE KEY term_id_taxonomy (term_id,taxonomy) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

   WordPress database error: [Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' to database 'mysql']

   You need to give your user complete privileges to that database.
