Ok.

I've been at this issue for 2 days now. I simply cannot install 2.2.5 on XAMPP stack or Acquia stack. I have come up the same error again and again: the Drupal database does not exist. I enclosed a screenshot so you can see it too.

Trust me. The database seen in that capture, drupal_6 does exist.

What the heck is going on?

your best bet would be to add debug code at: install/index.php, line 153

You can also call the function mysql_error in your message to get more details

I'm not sure how to debug. I could use some pointers. I did the most basic thing I could.

I did a var_dump on mysql_error and $req object.

var_dump(mysql_error()) returned bool(false).

var_dump($req->hasErrors()); returned int(0).

var_dump($req) returned

Here is the response:


string(60) "Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'drupal_6'"

int(1044)

resource(10) of type (mysql link)


Edit: I think I fixed it by changing the username on the Druppal database to 'root' from drupal. I wonder if filling in these fields automatically is very useful, because they seem to be very authoritative, and I didn't realize they weren't correct until I saw that error message. Maybe the next version could have a tooltip, or a few sentences to explain what the username is and where to find it.
