Thanks for the input, Sean.  I was just posting a clarification of my 
experience.  Hopefully the developers will implement more descriptive 
error messages when there are problems.  While the setup and usage is 
extremely easy, I did make some initial typo's with my username, 
password, and database server.  At first I thought it wasn't working.

The failed message is very alarming.  It doesn't say it can't access the 
server or database, it suggests the database is corrupted.

Great input.  I'm creating a new ID separate from my own (which I'll 
keep limited) for Gnucash, giving it database creation access. While I 
do most of my commands on a black terminal screen, I'll probably use the 
novice feature of logging in with phpadmin to create the new account.  
I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!
