 * Hi,
 * I seem to have the same installation problems as a lot of others with NextGEN
   Gallery, and that is problem to generate database tables.
 * Downloading the plugin works fine, but when I activate it, the following message
   appear:
 * _“Please update the database of NextGEN Gallery. Click here to proceed._
 * NextGEN Gallery : Tables could not created, please check your database settings”
 * So I click to proceed. That results in
    _“Please update the database of NextGEN
   Gallery. Click here to proceed._
 * NextGEN Gallery : Tables could not created, please check your database settings
 * The script detect that you upgrade from a older version. Your database tables
   for NextGEN Gallery is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.
   If you would like to downgrade later, please make first a complete backup of 
   your database and the images.
 * The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.
    Start upgrade now…”
 * But, I am not upgrading from earlier version, this is a first time install on
   a completely new and fresh WordPress installtion.
 * So I start the upgrade. That results in
    _“Could not find NextGEN Gallery database
   tables, upgrade failed !_
 * Upgrade finished…”
 * I run version 1.7.3 of NextGEN gallery.
 * Any suggestions?
    Regards – Mikael Brodd

 * Yep, found the problem. For some reason, my hosting company doesn’t allow the
   WP database user to add tables by default. Very strange.
 * So if you use Swedish hosting company Loopia, check your database user’s settings.
