Hi David!

MySQL error 1044 points to missing permissions. You have to give the MySQL user (in your case "db_wiki_admin") permission to manipulate the database "db_wikimedia". That is possible with the following SQL query:

GRANT ALL ON db_wikimedia.* TO 'db_wiki_admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

where "password" is the user's password. If you have phpmyadmin available, you can also use its interface to set the permissions.

Manual:Errors_and_symptoms has more information on MySQL errors.
