The help desk managed to fix it, although I don't see what he changed, I am just happy to have it working. Thanks for all your kind help.

Indeed I did. This is a cut and paste from the database page: MySQL Account Maintenance Databases: 12345678_move Users in move 12345678_ls (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

without it, like this: ObjectDriver DBI::mysql Database 12345678_move DBUser 12345678_ls DBPassword 123456 DBHost localhost I get a completely blank page when I try to load the mt.cgi file

This is the code exactly, except I changed the user name and password to 12345678 and 123456 respectively: ObjectDriver DBI::mysql Database database-12345678_move DBUser database-12345678_ls DBPassword database-123456 DBHost localhost

Thanks for the welcome. That's not the problem. All the .cgi permissions are set at 755. This is not the first time I am installing movable, I've installed three blogs on another server without a problem. I am in the process of moving all three here and this is the first one. The last I heard from the help desk was to unistall and reinstall the database and movable because the database was corrupt. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled and unstalled all over again and my frustration level is reaching its peak. I have been working on this since 6am and getting nowhere. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Just to be clear, in case I am not: the username given to me by TCH has eight letters. The name of the database has eight letters. The error I am getting seems to indicate that the database it is looking for only has 6 letters. The user name is correct with all eight letters in the mt-config file. this is error exactly, with only the letters changed to numbers: Got an error: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user 'database-1234567'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Please, if someone could help me. I am not reaching the database, it appears that for some reason it is not holding all of the letters in the username. I get this error message: Got an error: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user 'database-*******'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Where I have put the stars is the user name. The user name for the database has 7 letters instead of 6, it is correct in the mt-config file but its still giving me the error above. The error only shows 6 letters instead of 7 in the user name
