[opencms-dev] Installation problems

[Pascal DeMilly]

Hi,

I am new to opencms and tomcat for that matter. I am trying to install
and configure opencms and I am not able to create the database following
the installation instructions provided.

I am using:

Linux/Redhat 8.0: 2.4.18-24.8.0
Tomcat 4: tomcat4-4.1.24-full.2jpp
OpenCMS: OpenCms 5.0.0
MySQL: mysql-3.23.56-1.80

I tested mysql with the root password I assigned using mysqladmin -u
root -p, so it looks like mysql is setup correctly.

However when trying to create the database in opencms I get the message:

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Pascal
