Joomla database

Solved

Hello
during the installation of Joomla 3.8.8 with WAMP 2.4, when clicking on install, a message appeared:

"An error occurred while creating the Joomla database 2.499.
The user may not have the required privileges to create a database."

The database was created separately before the installation of Joomla!.

I did create the database beforehand, but where are the privileges and how do they work?

Thank you for your answers

Have a good Sunday

    Hello,

    What user are you using?
    root? Or did you create a user in your database?
    If you created the user... did you grant them all the rights on the database you just created?

    To manage your database... do you use command lines or phpMyAdmin?

    Sincerely,
    Jordane

    I just found the solution !! The emitted message is wrong, it's not about privilege but simply
    that you need to log in as the user "root":

    thanks to everyone for your help

      The message is not wrong.....
      If you give it an empty user... it tries to log in with it... so the "empty" user has no rights...
