[opencms-dev] installation problems: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'opencms'

[Michael Kenny]

After investing a lot of energy opencms seems now almost to be
working.......


The step 8. " Start your web server" fails . The OpenCms system is
available at
http://your.server/servlets/opencms/system/workplace/action/login.html.


when I do this I get:
-------------------------------------------
"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request. "
-------------------------------------------
in the browser. 
There is no dialog to log on as admin as expected....
-------------------------------------------
Here is the opencms log file....

not found. Ignoring.


Looking at the opencms.jar,  CmsPdfLauncher doesn't seem to be
present. Is this the error? 
The DB has a password set, could this be another reason for failure. I
set it in opencms.properties:property.connectString =
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/opencms?
user=root;password=<root password>
is there another place to set it to avoid what seems to be a mysql
error above....


All help appreciated.....

_____________________________________________
also as a tip, the installation text on the internet should be updated
or removed, it is different to the installation text in the
delivery......

java -mx64M -classpath opencms:jar:xerces.jar:mysql_uncomp.jar

assumes the jars are in your classpath and 
opencms:jar is an error right?
