I'd have thought both these errors might stem from a problem writing (as
opposed to connecting) to the relevant databases. Are the schema
installed? It's helpful to check what is actually happening to the
tables if there are any, and there should be.
#mysqlshow -u username -p databasename
will show the tables, if there are any...
#mysql -u username -p databasename
mysql> select * from tablename\G
will show what is in the tables. If this isn't changing during
initialisation/install then there's probably a permissions prob. You can
check permissions as follows (assuming there is a root password):
mysql -u root -p mysql
mysql> select * from db\G
Your output should include a block like this:
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Host: localhost
Db: databasename
User: username
