Hi,

I think there is something rather screwed up in your database. You should check that the values you gave for your database host, username and passwords all work if you use them from the command line, e.g.

<i>mysql <database> -u<username> -p<password> -h<hostname></i>

if not then you should check that your database and user is correctly configured.

It is also a little odd that in the first error the database host is reported as 'redhat9' and then later as 'hostredhat9'. It is also strange that the username appears to be 'select, insert, update, delete' so I would suspect your grant statement to create the user might have been incorrect also.

Phil,
