Looking for a step by step guide to get this working, I have tried to follow the wiki on this, but it doesn't even follow the mySQL install program, so after step 1, it is a guessing game, and after I get it installed and try to use the command line, all I get is ERROR 1470 (HY000): String 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY ' is too long for user name (should be no longer than 16).

Any help would be appreciated.

Seems like you tried to add a user named " 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY '". But you are supposed to add a user named 'xbmc'

Try this command - and exactly this command: CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc';

Maetrik, tried that and got:

ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'xbmc'@'%'

Maetrik, after a reinstall of mySQL, it worked, not sure what was different, but seems to be working now, thank you
