Manual talk:Installation/Creating system accounts
Any user names refer to users of that site, who are not necessarily users of MediaWiki.org (even if they share the same username).
gorgonz: Deactivated link 'your_machine' to protect readers, since this link leads to some japan page, which is definitely not, what the author intended. Used a blank for this purpose, but other users might know a better way ;)
gorgonz: also added the correct start command of mysql for opensuse. Just don't know slackware. Please verify, if slackware users really call mysql*d* script, otherwise correct it

Restart Command List Unnecessary[edit]
The listing of restart commands from various distributions is out of place and should be deleted. I'll do it myself next week if no one else has time before then. --Jarsyl 05:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
'%' in GRANT command did not work[edit]
On the following version of mysql:
# mysql -V mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.67, for pc-solaris2.11 (i386) using readline 5.1
I had to change this command:
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidb.* TO 'wikiuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION ;
To
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidb.* TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION ;
Otherwise, wikiuser could not even see the wikidb. Since this is not a generic solution, I will not modify the manual page.
