Help! I've been trying to figure out this problem all week but can't figure this out! After Step 1, I receive this error:

A database error occurred: Access denied for user 'theac4_admin'@'localhost' to database 'theac4_joomlabase'SQL= CREATE DATABASE'theac4_joomlabase'

I see this topic has been discussed on this forum before, but i still receive the error.  I've already double checked my database name and user name; tried using database name and user name with and without the account prefix, i.e.

database: theac4_joomlabase and joomlabase
username:  theac4_admin and admin
Host name: localhost

Also, all my joomla installation files and folders are CHMOD'ed to 777.

I'm using Cpanel and  My host is lunarpages. The Joomla version is:  Joomla! 1.0.14 RC1 Stable

Any ideas? Do I have to adjust any additional settings in CPANEL? Thanks in advanced, Joomla experts! 8)

Figured it out....

when i created the new user, i had to take an additional step and add that user to the database. The interface made it look like the user was  automatically added to the database (it isnt; u have to  manually add the user to the database, other wise you will get the 'access denied') error!
