 * I’ve received some disturbing errors during my installation of WordPress:
 * >  WordPress database error: [Access denied for user: ‘stminutiae@localhost’ 
   > to database ‘stminutiae2’]
   >  ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD INDEX ( `post_name` )
 * Basically, it looks like all of the ALTER TABLE commands got denied for some 
   reason. Any help would be appreciated!

 * Did you make stminutiae@localhost a member of the database and apply full privileges?

 * This is a database for which I have already had the username/password established,
   many months ago. Nothing changed as far as the database was concerned.
 * Thanks,

 * Well, this doesn’t appear to be a WordPress issue. The database error specifically
   states that the user is denied access, so that is something you have to work 
   out at your end.
