[opencms-dev] Does OpenCMS cannot connect to the MySQL except create accounts manually?

[Joachim Arrasz]

Hi

this can be a MySQL problem. If you for example use localhost, each MySQL
installation uses as default Port 3306
>  I have set up OpenCMS with a remote MySQL DB (OpenCMS runs on Mac OS X
>  Server 10.2.8, MySQL runs on Windows NT). During setup OpenCMS can
>  login the MySQL and create all DBs and workspaces. But after setup and
>  I want to run it is said 500 Error: cannot connect to the Database.
>  How to solve it? Does OpenCMS only use port 3306 during the connection
>  with MySQL? Any accounts  I need to create in MySQL manually before
>  starting it?

Hope this helps a bit
