Hi Gurus out there,

I am trying to configure phpopenchat. An error appeared as follows:

A database (tablespace) with name "poc" could not be found!

I checked the dialog box create this database (tablespace)!
Choose one of the existent databases (tablespaces):

So I try creating poc database using the ff:

# mysqladmin create poc
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

However, I can open my database using:
# mysql -u root mysql -p
without any problem.

What could be the problem?

Also, anyone here had a successful installation of phpopenchat? Anyone care to point me to the right direction to accomplish it's installation? There's no available Installation manual translated in English

I know this isn't the right forum. But no one was attending my question at sourceforge.

Iam a little to late in accomplishing our project. Hope you can help me

Thanks and more power to all.
