Okay, first of all, I don't know how to use MySQL, but I got a guide, which says the following:

create database wikidb;
grant create, select, insert, update, delete, lock tables on wikidb.* to 'wikiuser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
flush privileges;
\q

so I changed it to:

create database wikidb;
grant create, select, insert, update, delete, lock tables on wikidb.* to 'looie'@'mysql5.freepgs.com' identified by 'xxxxxxxx';
flush privileges;
\q

but I get an error:

#1044 - Access denied for user 'looie'@'%' to database 'wikidb'

I only have 1 database, "looiedatabase" which is empty, and it says unlimited databases are allowed.

Anyone know the problem?

Where did you enter that?

Do you have cPanel access?

Ah, nevermind. I found out the problem. That was a command for a root or su. I had to go into the MySQL panel and create a database, which I alread had, so I had to skip that part.
