Overview: I am installing dotproject software locally on my Vista machine. &nbsp;I'm running the latest version of WAMP.<br />
<br />
Problem: Cannot seem to set up the database. &nbsp;I have used 'localhost' and the name of my machine as the database hostname.<br />
<br />
As localhost, the installer tries the username 'user@localhost' and returns an Access Denied error (using password:YES).<br />
<br />
When I use the name of my machine I get: 'Unknown MySQL server host' &nbsp;The exact error is below.<br />
<br />

What do I do to resolve this and get this working?<br />

MySQL Database Connection &amp; Creation Error Installing DotProject

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.

MySQL Server

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
